1968 Map of Ruby Lake NE

About this map

The Maverick Springs Range dominates this late-1960s survey, illustrating a remote high-desert environment defined by its water sources and livestock infrastructure. An indefinite boundary separates Elko Co and White Pine Co, reflecting the difficulties of precise surveying in this complex terrain. The landscape is primarily accessed by a network of Jeep Trails and standard Trails, which connect isolated water points like Maverick Springs, Gardner Spring, and Cherry Spring. The presence of Rock Cabin Well and Red Hill Well suggests the historical importance of this area for seasonal grazing, where access to these improved water sources was vital for managing cattle and sheep across the arid slopes and along Ruby Wash. This map documents a functional working landscape before modern infrastructure reached deep into this portion of Nevada.
