1968 Map of Ruggs

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Ruggs sits at the junction of Rhea Creek and McKinney Creek, serving as a small agricultural node in the high country of Morrow County. This 1968 field-checked survey shows the landscape dominated by the prominent Social Ridge, which dictates the drainage patterns of several deep incisions such as Clarks Canyon and Cason Canyon. The presence of a Grain Elevator and a Storage Bin near the settlement reflects the region's reliance on dryland wheat farming and ranching during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a network of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty routes connecting isolated resources, including a Water Tank and several Spring sites located within the folds of the ridges. Smaller features like Spring Hollow and Fuller Canyon further define this dissected plateau before the terrain drops toward the creek beds.
