1958 Map of Ruth
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Ruth and its surrounding mining operations dominate this landscape on the eastern slopes of the Egan Range during the late 1950s. The industrial footprint of copper mining is evident through massive earthworks like the Liberty Pit and the Open Pit Mine, supported by a dense network of shafts including the Deep Ruth Shaft and Monitor Shaft. The Northern Nevada railroad winds through the complex topography, connecting these ore bodies to the processing centers. Further east, the map captures the western edge of Ely, where the Central Ely Sch and Ogden Ave mark the transition from industrial extraction to residential life.
