Ruth

Ruth has served as a copper-mining community in eastern Nevada since the early 20th century. Set on the western side of Steptoe Valley beneath the Egan Range, it forms part of the long-established mining country around Ely. Its identity was shaped by the Robinson mining district, where large open-pit workings transformed the terrain and supported a purpose-built company town. The settlement remains closely tied to the region’s copper industry, while the surrounding basin-and-range country gives it a distinctly remote Great Basin setting.
