2020 Map of Ruby

About this map

Ruby and its surrounding Chesterfield County landscape are defined by a network of creeks and localized landmarks that reveal the area's rural character. The town is flanked by historic burial grounds, including the centrally located Ruby Cem and the more remote Roscoe Cem. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Little Black Cr and Big Bear Cr carving through the terrain, while man-made water features such as Douglass Millpond and Woodward Millpond indicate a history of local water management and milling. Small named settlements like Lees Crossroads and Campbell Crossroads serve as focal points for the road network, while the evocative The Narrow Passage suggests a unique topographical or navigational constraint. To the south, the terrain shifts near Johnsons Rock and the King Sand Hills, providing a distinct contrast to the creek-fed lowlands of the north.
