1990 Map of Ruby Valley School

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest and the Ruby Mountains dominate the western half of this Nevada landscape, where steep canyons descend into the broad Ruby Valley. This 1990 survey captures a rugged transition from high-altitude wilderness to a valley floor marked by water management and ranching infrastructure. The Ruby Valley Sch sits centrally near the mountain base, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area. Along the basin's edge, geothermal activity is evident at Sulphur Hot Springs, while high in the mountains, features like Watermelon Spring and Lamoille Canyon define the drainage patterns.
