1968 Map of Franklin Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Ruby Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, characterized by the stark expanse of the Alkali Flat. The topographic survey, based on 1965 aerial photography and field checked in 1968, details the drainage patterns of Ruby Wash as it descends from the surrounding highlands into the valley floor. The area is sparsely developed, with human activity represented primarily by a Jeep Trail and a lone Well, indicating a landscape focused on ranching or mineral exploration rather than dense settlement. The map serves as a primary source for the physical geography of this remote Great Basin depression during the late 1960s, showing the intersection of arid valley bottoms and the steep alluvial fans at the mountain base.
