1952 Map of Ruby C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Ruby sits along the southern bank of the Yukon River at the northwestern edge of this 1950s interior Alaska landscape. The settlement is anchored by navigation and communication infrastructure, including a Landing Area, Radio Towers, and the Ruby Astro station. From the river, the terrain rises into a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, most notably Scow Mountain and Boston Dome. The hydrology of the region is defined by a dense network of drainages like Big Glacier Creek and Beaver Creek that cut through the undulating surface. While much of the area is dominated by wilderness, small clusters of Cabins and a Gravel Pit suggest localized activity and transport routes. This survey provides a look at the essential infrastructure and topography of the Ruby region before significant modern development, documenting the relationship between the riverfront hub and its upland interior.
