1968 Map of Ruby Lake NE

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Maverick Springs Range dominates this corner of Nevada, where high-altitude ridges descend into the basin of the Ruby settlement. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a landscape defined by critical water sources in an arid environment, notably Gardner Spring, Cherry Spring, and the namesake Maverick Springs. Evidence of early cattle ranching or pioneer movement is visible through features like Rock Cabin Well and the sparse network of a Jeep Trail winding through the terrain. The eastern edge is marked by a prominent Wash and the elevations of Red Hill, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and topographical barriers that shaped land use in Elko and White Pine counties. This survey serves as a record of the remote interior before modern infrastructure, preserved through the placement of numerous benchmark markers like BM 6212 and BM 6677.
