2012 Map of Ruby Lake SE

About this map

The Maverick Springs Range dominates this landscape in northeastern Nevada, showing a complex network of seasonal drainages and isolated water sources essential to the Great Basin high desert. This 2012 survey documents critical water points such as Willow Spring, Salas Spring, and Mountain Spring, which have historically served as vital landmarks for livestock and travelers in this arid region. The presence of Overland Rd cutting through the southeastern corner near Murry Canyon highlights the long-standing importance of this corridor for movement across the basin. In the far southwest, Blue Jay Spring sits near the base of the range, further illustrating the sparse but strategic distribution of water that dictated land use and route planning throughout the development of Elko County.
