1959 Map of Sherman Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Huntington Valley and the high elevations of the Ruby Mountains dominate this late-1950s survey of the Nevada interior. The landscape is defined by the transition from the arid valley floor, drained by Huntington Creek, to the steep canyons of the Humboldt National Forest. Human presence is largely tied to ranching and early transit, evidenced by numerous family operations such as Sadler Ranch, Juaristi Ranch, and Goyeneche Ranch. The presence of the Elko-Hamilton Stage Lines traces a path through the valley, marking a historic transportation corridor. To the east, the map captures the western edge of the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain drops away into Ruby Valley. High points like Sherman Mountain and Pearl Peak overlook a network of seasonal springs and remote structures like Johnson Cabin.
