About this map

Ruby River defines the central drainage of this Madison County landscape, where a sophisticated network of irrigation ditches supported a series of high-country ranching operations in the early 21st century. The map details an extensive water management system including the Snapp-Donegan Ditch, Larrabee Ditch, and Peterson Ditch, which redirected mountain runoff from tributaries like Willow Creek and Ledford Creek to the valley floor.

Named homesteads and sites of earlier habitation are scattered across the terrain, including Tate Place, Hale Place, and Reeder Place, alongside active operations like Home Park Ranch. Evidence of the region's mineral interests persists at the Big Willow Mine and Canyon Campground Mine. The transition from valley bottom to high ridges is marked by the presence of Snowcrest Mountain in the south, overlooking isolated landmarks such as Garrison Cabin.
