About this map

Dry Creek stands as a primary point of reference in this landscape dominated by the southern reaches of the Ruby Mountains. The area is characterized by a complex drainage system that feeds into Carville Basin, with numerous watercourses such as Smith Cr, McCutcheon Cr, and Gilbert Cr carving through the high-elevation terrain. Much of the eastern and southern portion of the map is protected within the Humboldt National Forest, where topographic features like Green Mountain rise above the surrounding valleys.

Transportation through this part of Elko County is primarily facilitated by the Smith Creek Rd and the Natl Forest Develop Rd. The map also captures small but critical water sources for local land use, including Forest Spring and Lost Lake. This survey illustrates the remote, high-desert character of the region, where the intersection of National Forest boundaries and rugged drainage basins defines the land's utility and layout.
