About this map

High-altitude water sources and early forest management infrastructure define this 1985 survey of the Ruby Mountains. Central to the map is the Harrison Pass Guard Station, a key waypoint for managing the Humboldt National Forest and the crossing at Harrison Pass. The landscape is dominated by steep terrain and numerous seasonal springs that feed into several named drainages, including Green Creek, Toyn Creek, and South Fork Creek.

Evidence of historical land use is visible in the presence of the Zaga Ranch and Corta Ranch, which suggest a heritage of high-country grazing. Resource extraction is also represented by several unnamed Mines and Prospects scattered across the slopes, along with a Limestone Pit located near Pearl Creek. Remote tracks and 4WD roads provide the primary access to these isolated elevations, linking the mountain peaks to the valley floor.
