2021 Map of Sherman Mountain

About this map

The Ruby Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the steep slopes of Sherman Mtn transition sharply into the marshes of the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. This intersection of alpine terrain and wetland creates a distinct ecological boundary, evidenced by the numerous water bodies like Banana Pond, Brush Pile Pond, and Y Pond that dot the valley floor. The map highlights a long history of human occupation and water management through features like Cracker Johnson Spring Number Two and the South Fort Ruby Ranch Site.
