This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ruby Creek, British Columbia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ruby Creek.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Ruby Creek is a locality in Yale Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ruby Creek is located at 49.3500°N, 121.6000°W.
Ruby Creek emerges from the rugged verticality of the Yale Land District, where the land rises sharply toward the Zofka Ridge and slopes down to meet the powerful flow of the Fraser River. It lies 12.0 km west-south-west of Hope, BC (from Hope, BC: bearing 254°T), and is situated 12.7 km north-north-east of Cheam View. The air here carries a persistent dampness, a heavy cool that clings to the cedar boughs and mutes the sound of the water as it tumbles over stones. Sunlight often struggles to pierce the dense canopy, leaving the forest in a state of perpetual silver-grey twilight that highlights the moss-covered rocks and the deep, silent shadows of the valley floor. Within this quiet isolation, the proximity of Deer Lake, situated only 6 km away, offers a brief opening in the dense timber, while the distant, towering presence of Stewart Glacier, 20 km away, reminds those who look upward of the ancient ice that once carved this steep terrain. The history of Ruby Creek is tied to the movement of people through the Fraser River corridor, a passage that has long served as a lifeline for trade and travel. Local life maintains a focus on the land, with F.H. Barber Park, located 5 km away, serving as a quiet anchor for those who live among the slopes and the rushing currents. While Rainbow Falls remains a hidden spectacle 12 km away, the daily existence in Ruby Creek is defined by the practical demands of the geography, where the steep grades and persistent moisture dictate the pace of work and movement. Residents find a particular beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the riverbank, obscuring the distant ridges until the sun finally burns the vapor away, revealing a landscape that demands respect and a steady hand.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Ruby Creek is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
