1981 Map of Ruby

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The settlement of Ruby and its surrounding mining district dominate this borderlands landscape within the Coronado National Forest. This survey captures a region defined by its extraction history, documenting numerous silver and lead operations including the Montana Mine, Oro Blanco Mine, and California Mine. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of the Atascosa Mountains and Tumacacori Mountains, with the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos border forming the southern limit of the sheet. Outside the mining camps, the map identifies localized water management through features like Ruby Lakes, Apache Dams, and various cattle tanks that supported the Bear Valley Ranch and Atascosa Trail Ranch. Notable for genealogists is the marked Cem and several isolated ruins, indicating the once-active community life that thrived here when the mines were at their peak.
