About this map

The settlement of Ruby and its surrounding mining operations anchor this Okanogan County landscape, reflecting the region's mineral-driven development. Located along the base of Arlington Ridge, the map identifies several significant excavations, including the Last Chance Mine, First Thought Mine, and the Arlington Mine. These labels provide precise locations for historical mining claims that drew prospectors to the slopes of Ruby Hill.

Drainage systems like Salmon Creek and the curiously named Woolloomooloo Creek carve through the high ground of Wright Mountain and Neville Ridge. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, water management is evident at Little Green Lake Dam, while the presence of Clover Cemetery near the junction of Reed Creek and Spring Coulee RD offers a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated interior.
