1966 Map of Ruby Knolls

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Ruby Knolls and the surrounding high desert of Sweetwater County characterize this 1960s topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the winding paths of Creston Draw and Buck Draw as they cut through the arid terrain. While the area lacks dense settlement, the map records the infrastructure of mid-century resource extraction and transit, including a prominent Pipeline and scattered markers like a Drill Hole and several Well sites. Transportation is limited to functional desert routes, specifically the Riner Cutoff Road, which provided essential access across this portion of the Red Desert. The sparse distribution of named features and survey benchmarks like BM 6724 reflects a working landscape where water sources and geological markers were the primary points of orientation for travelers and land managers alike.
