  • 51 Investigation of Nevada's 2009-2010 East Humboldt Range
    17th Biennial Symposium Northern Wild Sheep and Goat Council Investigation of Nevada’s 2009-2010 East Humboldt Range and Ruby Mountain Bighorn Dieoff CALEB MCADOO, Nevada Department of Wildlife, 60 Youth Center Road, Elko, NV 89801 PEREGRINE WOLFF, Nevada Department of Wildlife, 405 South 21st Street, Sparks, NV 89431 MIKE COX, Nevada Department of Wildlife, 1100 Valley Road, Reno, NV 89512 Abstract: Coughing Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep were first reported by sportsmen the second week in December 2009 in the Ruby Mountains. In late December sportsmen again reported coughing and ill bighorn sheep but this time in the adjacent East Humboldt Range approximately 30 miles from the Ruby Mountains core bighorn area. Rut-related ram movement between these 2 ranges mostly likely occurs. Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) quickly confirmed that bacterial pneumonia was present in the bighorn herds in both mountain ranges. The NDOW veterinarian and biologists developed an investigative and surveillance plan to learn the extent of the disease event, and administer an antibiotic treatment to a subgroup of animals. Objectives of the plan were to 1) compare and contrast bighorn sub-herds at different sites within the 2 mountain ranges with animals evaluated for respiratory pathogens and nutritional status (forage quality and trace mineral levels); 2) measure the benefit and effectiveness of the antibiotic Draxxin administered to bighorn sheep as measured by survival, lamb recruitment, body condition, residual lung pathology, and detected pathogens in collared and treated animals vs collared and untreated animals.; and 3) compare and contrast forage, soil, and blood and/or liver selenium levels; pathogen profiles; spring/early summer 2009 precipitation amounts; and forage quality measures among the East Humboldt Range and Ruby Mountain bighorn herds and other bighorn herds in Nevada that were captured in January 2010.

  • 5.1 Historic Period Human Interaction with the Watershed
    Upper Carson River Watershed Stream Corridor Assessment 5. Human Interaction With the Watershed 5.1 Historic Period Human Interaction With the Watershed The purpose of this section is to summarize human activities that have had some effect on the Carson River watershed in Alpine County, California. Regional prehistory and ethnography are summarized by Nevers (1976), Elston (1982), d’Azevedo (1986), and Lindstrom et al. (2000). Details of regional history can be found in Maule (1938), Jackson (1964), Dangberg (1972), Clark (1977), Murphy (1982), Marvin (1997), and other sources. A book published by the Centennial Book Committee (1987) contains an excellent selection of historic photographs. Particularly useful is a study on the historical geography of Alpine County by Howatt (1968). 5.1.1 Prehistoric Land Use Human habitation of the Upper Carson River Watershed extends thousands of years back into antiquity. Archaeological evidence suggests use of the area over at least the last 8,000 to 9,000 years. For most of that time, the land was home to small bands of Native Americans. Their number varied over time, depending on regional environmental conditions. For at least the last 2,000 years, the Washoe occupied the Upper Carson River Watershed. Ethnographic data provides clues as to past land use and land management practices (see extended discussions in Downs 1966; Blackburn and Anderson 1993; Lindstrom et al. 2000; Rucks 2002). A broad range of aboriginal harvesting and hunting practices, fishing, and camp tending would have affected the landscape and ecology of the study area. Shrubs such as service berry and willow were pruned to enhance growth.

After Blackwelder’s description in his review of glaciation in the western mountains, Sharp mapped and named the deposits of the Lamoille and Angel Lake glaciations and correlated them with early and late Wisconsin deposits of the Great Lakes area.

  • Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States
    Jump to Navigation Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States As of January 12, 2017, the USGS maintains a limited number of metadata fields that characterize the Quaternary faults and folds of the United States. For the most up-to-date information, please refer to the interactive fault map. Ruby Mountains fault zone (Class A) No. 1573 Last Review Date: 1998-10-07 citation for this record: Sawyer, T.L., Oswald, J.A., Rowley, P.C., and Anderson, R.E., compilers, 1998, Fault number 1573, Ruby Mountains fault zone, in Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey website, https://earthquakes.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults, accessed 12/14/2020 02:36 PM. Synopsis The Ruby Mountains fault zone consists of three, generally northeast-striking, left-stepping faults, each of which are 25–35 km long that bound the northwest side of the northern Ruby Mountains and the East Humboldt Range. The faults generally follow the range-front however, locally they extend onto the piedmont. Within this zone, faults juxtapose Quaternary alluvium against bedrock and form scarps and lineaments on Quaternary alluvium adjacent to the range front and on piedmont slopes. The East Humboldt Range and Ruby Mountains form a prominent west-tilted horst block and is the highest range between the Sierra Nevada and the Wasatch Mountains. In general, reconnaissance and detailed geologic study and photogeologic mapping of fault related features are the main sources of data. A brief descriptions of one trench site is currently available. Late and latest Pleistocene deposits are offset suggesting strong evidence for Pleistocene deposits are offset suggesting strong evidence for young movement as well as recurrent movement in the past 200 k.y.
