2011 Map of Ruby Dam

About this map

The Ruby Dam controls the flow of the Ruby River in this section of Madison County, creating the Ruby River Reservoir as a prominent central feature of the landscape. This 2011 survey captures the industrial and ranching footprint of the region, where the Barton Gulch Mine and Davey Creek Mine represent the area's mineral interests. The geography is defined by a series of drainages, including Barton Gulch, Idaho Creek, and Jack Creek, which cut through the terrain toward the river valley. Evidence of water management for agriculture is visible in features like the Calloway Ditch near the Wonderly Ranch. For recreationists and locals, the Ruby Reservoir Campground serves as a primary point of access to the water, while named landmarks such as Dark Hollow and Jasmine Creek provide specific points of reference for those navigating the backcountry roads like Davey Creek Rd.
