About this map

The high peaks of the Ruby Mountains dominate this 1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by steep canyons and alpine hydrology. The settlement of Lamoille serves as a western gateway, featuring a powerhouse and gaging station along Lamoille Creek. To the east, the vast Ruby Valley opens up, housing the Ruby Valley School and the Shorty Cemetery near the base of the range.

Resource extraction and mountain recreation are evidenced by the American Beauty Mine and the Battle Creek Mines tucked into the southern peaks, while Camp Lamoille and the Thomas Canyon Forest Camp highlight the area's role within the Humboldt National Forest. An extensive network of trails, including the Conrad Pack Trail and the Old Military Reservation Boundary Trail, provides access to remote high-altitude features like Ruby Dome and the Hidden Lakes.
