About this map

Ruby Dome and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Ruby Mountains define this section of Elko County within the Humboldt National Forest. The landscape is dominated by glacial features, including numerous alpine basins such as Seitz Canyon and Echo Canyon, alongside high-elevation lakes like Lamoille Lake, Liberty Lake, and Favre Lake. These water bodies are connected by a network of drainage systems, including Kleckner Cr and Lamoille Cr, which flow through deep-cut valleys like Thomas Canyon.

Human activity in this wilderness environment is represented by recreational infrastructure and historical resource extraction. The Ruby Crest National Recreation area encompasses significant peaks like Wines Peak and Mt Fitzgerald, while the Colonel Moore Tr provides access through Liberty Pass. Industrial history is anchored by the Lower Segunda Mine located near Segunda Cr, indicating past mineral prospecting in the canyons below Drown Peak.
