2011 Map of Bean Lake

About this map

Bean Lake serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape, where the Dearborn River cuts through the terrain of Lewis and Clark County. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by extensive ranching operations and water management, featuring historic properties like White Ranch, Mosher Ranch, and the Diamond Bar X Ranch. The infrastructure of the area is heavily tied to the movement of water through the Dearborn Canal, Mosher Ditch, and Cuniff Ditch, supporting the agricultural life of the basin. Recreational and topographical features are also prominent, from the Bean Lake Campground near the Bean Lake Dam to the distinctive heights of Table Mountain and Harrison Basin Ridge. The crossing at Dearborn River High Bridge highlights the critical transit points over the winding river system that shapes the local geography.
