1968 Map of Ruby Lake SE

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Maverick Springs Range dominates this 1968 survey of eastern Nevada. This terrain is characterized by sparse water sources and dramatic elevation changes, with Willow Spring and Salas Spring serving as vital landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. The map shows the transition between the upland peaks and the broad basins of Ruby Valley and Long Valley. Cattle ranching and mineral exploration are the primary human activities implied by the network of unimproved roads and jeep trails that wind through the canyons. This edition captures the area before modern land-use changes, preserving the remote character of the White Pine County interior during the mid-20th century.
