1969 Map of Secret Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Arthur and Krenka sit as central landmarks in this high-altitude basin where the northern Ruby Mountains meet the foothills of the Humboldt National Forest. In the late 1960s, this area served as a critical passage point, centered on Secret Pass and the drainage of Secret Creek. The landscape is defined by the transition from steep mountain canyons like Poison Canyon and the dramatic Devils Slide into the broader livestock-rearing lands of Secret Valley and Ruby Valley. Local social life is anchored by the Community Hall near the junction of several drainage systems, including Franklin River and Krenka Creek. Evidence of early water management is visible through the Aqueduct in the southeast, while numerous springs and the Gardner Trail highlight the importance of water access and movement in this part of Elko County.
