About this map

Ruby Valley sits at the base of the Ruby Mountains in this high-altitude landscape of eastern Nevada. The area is defined by a series of drainages and springs that feed into the valley floor, including the geothermal activity at Sulphur Hot Springs. Ranching and land management are evident through named parcels and roads such as Birch Creek Rd and the Llama Ranch Airport.

The western portion of the map is dominated by the Humboldt National Forest, where steep terrain includes Lamoille Canyon and ridges like the Mose Creek Spur. Water sources like Watermelon Spring and Chokecherry Spring provide vital points in this arid environment. The southern reach of the valley includes the expansive Big Meadow, illustrating the contrast between the mountain peaks and the broad, alluvial basin floor.
