2014 Map of Ruby

About this map

Ruby and the surrounding Chesterfield County landscape are defined by a complex network of creeks and small family-named landmarks. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Johnsons Rock and the King Sand Hills in the south toward the drainage basins of Black Creek and Little Black Creek further north. Historical industry and land use are evident in features such as Douglass Millpond and Woodard Millpond, which sit alongside established junctions like Lees Crossroads and Campbell Crossroads. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial sites, including Ruby Cemetery, Cross Roads Cemetery, and Roscoe Cemetery. Roads such as Hallelujah Church Road and the surprisingly named Elvis Presley Boulevard weave through the rural landscape, connecting small homesteads and local watersheds like Hogpen Branch and Polecat Branch.
