2023 Map of Ruth
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Ruth sits at the heart of this landscape, dominated by the industrial legacy of Copper Flat and several prominent mining refuse sites like Sunshine Dump and Puritan Dump. The terrain is defined by the steep grades of the Egan Range, rising to high points at Murry Peak and Elijah Hill. This high-desert environment shows a clear divide between the industrial activity near the Robinson Canyon and the surrounding open territory of Smith Valley and Steptoe Valley. Local transportation centers on Gleason Creek Rd and Lackawanna Rd, which connect the small mining communities of Keystone, Lane City, and Calumet to the larger hub of Ely in the southeast corner. The presence of the Bristlecone Wilderness at the northern edge provides a sharp contrast to the nearby excavated earth and ridges like Jupiter Ridge and Hayes Ridge.
