1984 Map of West of Delcer Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Ruby Valley defines the topography of this high-desert Elko County landscape, where the seasonal movement of water dictates the layout of the land. In this 1980s survey, the map details an environment of managed rangeland, marked by a network of fences and fence lines that cross the broad Dry Lake Flat. Evidence of ranching and remote infrastructure is sparse but critical, featuring the Corral near the Big Meadow River and the isolated Odgers Ranch. Water management is the primary human footprint here, visible through labels like Basque Well No 2 and various Water Tanks. The presence of a Borrow Pit and Prospect suggests the localized extraction of materials common in these arid basins. This document serves as a specialized study of the basin's drainage patterns, characterized by numerous Dry Lakes that collect seasonal runoff.
