About this map

Ruby Valley is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and early infrastructure in this high-desert landscape. The vanished settlement of Ruby City (Site) is a central point of interest, positioned near where Ruby City Creek emerges from the slopes of the Humboldt National Forest. This 1980s field check documents the essential water-management features required for survival and ranching in this arid region, including the Water Pipeline, Sharps Well, and scattered Corral and Water Trough locations. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of several streams like Robinson Creek, Sharps Creek, and Franklin River, which define the irrigation and livestock patterns of the area. Notable landmarks such as the Ruby Valley Forest Service Station and the Estate Place provide evidence of administrative and residential footprints within the vast valley floor.
