About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Ruby Mountains dominates this 2018 survey, centered on the transition from the peaks of Sherman Mtn to the marshy lowlands of the Ruby Valley. The eastern portion of the map covers a significant section of the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, where features like Banana Pond and Ramires Springs dot the landscape.

Evidence of ranching history and early high-country settlement is scattered throughout the area, notably at the Fort Ruby Ranch Site and the isolated Johnson Cabin near Overland Pass. The map also traces the network of forest development roads, such as Burro Lake Road, which provide access through the Humboldt National Forest to remote landmarks like Walker Canyon and Cracker Johnson Spring Number One.
