2018 Map of Station Butte

About this map

Ruby Lake South Marsh and the surrounding high-desert wetlands define this portion of Ruby Valley during the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the aquatic environments of Y Pond and the arid rises of the Maverick Springs Range. Historically significant pathways are visible, specifically the course of Overland Rd as it cuts across the township and range lines of the Great Basin. The hydrology of the region is anchored by Station Spring and the drainage of Woodwards Cr, while the namesake Station Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in the western half of the quadrangle. This area in White Pine County reflects a landscape largely defined by its natural water sources and the sparse infrastructure required to navigate the valley floor.
