1968 Map of Franklin Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Ruby Mountains dominate the western edge of this 1960s survey, their steep slopes dropping sharply into the marshy basins of the eastern flats. This transition from high-altitude terrain to a desert lake system is marked by the presence of the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Humboldt National Forest. Early industrial activity is evident along the mountain front, where the Star Mine, Lime Mine, and a Kiln indicate the extraction of local minerals and stone.
