1968 Map of Red Ring Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Red Ring Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, situated where the terrain transitions between the Little Smoky Valley and Big Sand Springs Valley. This 1968 survey reveals a topography dominated by the volcanic forms of Andesite Ridge and the drainage patterns of Twin Ribbon Gulch. The scarcity of human infrastructure highlights the importance of localized water sources in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Dry Lake Well near the center of the quadrangle. Produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the map provides a precise view of this remote portion of Nye County during the late 1960s, capturing a terrain defined by its geology rather than its settlements.
