1967 Map of Ruby

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Pend Oreille River carves a deep path through this portion of the Colville National Forest, where 1960s industry and transport intersect with the remnants of earlier prospecting. Along the western bank, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad follows the water's edge, passing through the small settlements of Blueslide and Ruby. Across the river, the landscape rises toward Ruby Mountain and Hanlon Mtn, intersected by a network of drainages including Le Clerc Creek and its various branches. The presence of Diamond City (Site) in Dry Canyon provides a specific point of interest for those tracking vanished mining camps, while active Mines and a Gravel Pit indicate the ongoing extraction of the region's resources during this era. A Ferry crossing and a Boat Ramp further underscore the river's role as a vital local corridor between the timbered slopes of Squirrel Meadow and Henry Brown Meadow.
