1968 Map of Ruby Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this 1968 landscape, defining the geographic character of Ruby Canyon and Horsethief Canyon. The winding waterway is flanked by notable alluvial flats including Ruby Bottom, Crow Bottom, and Moore Bottom, while the distinctive Black Rocks formations mark the river's edge. This desert terrain is further shaped by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which follows the river's contours through the canyon.
