1951 Map of Ruby

About this map

The Yukon River flows past the riverfront settlement of Ruby, providing a vital northern transportation artery during this mid-century reconnaissance era. The landscape to the south transitions into the complex drainage systems of the Kokwim Mountains, where the Sulatna River and Nowitna River carve through the interior. Evidence of the region's gold-mining legacy is prominent along the creeks, with a designated Placer Mine and several others identified near Long.
