2014 Map of Ruby Mountain

About this map

Ruby Mtn stands as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the boundary of Gallatin National Forest meets the transition from mountain slopes to drainage basins. The area is defined by a series of significant canyons and hollows, including Merritt Gulch, Quarry Gulch, and Green Hollow, which channel various mountain streams toward the Gallatin River valley. Man-made interventions in this environment are visible through the path of Williams Ditch and the network of mountain roads such as Axtell Anceney Rd. To the south, the Spanish Creek Basin and the Spanish Breaks mark the entry into more complex, rugged topography, while the Harringer Bridge provides a crucial crossing point for Kleinschmidt Rd as it follows the river's course.
