1952 Map of Ruby C-5

About this map

The Yukon River defines the northwestern edge of this 1952 topographic study, where the settlement of Ruby serves as a vital point of contact between the river and the interior. The presence of a Landing Strip, Radio Towers, and a Gaging Sta indicates the town's role as a regional communications and transportation hub during the early 1950s. Moving inland from the Corporate Boundary, the landscape is dominated by high points like Boston Dome and Cecil Dome, while a dense network of drainages including Big Creek and Beaver Creek suggests a terrain shaped by heavy seasonal runoff. This survey is particularly useful for identifying small, isolated Cabin sites and industrial markers like a Gravel Pit or VABM 931 Boston, which anchor the geography of the surrounding wilderness.
