2011 Map of Beaver Creek

About this map

The Princess Blue Ribbon Mine and Happy Day Mine sit at the center of this drainage-focused landscape in Blaine County. This high-country region is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Beaver Creek and its tributary, Little Beaver Creek. These streams have carved deep landmarks like McDonald Gulch and McKay Gulch, which guide the path of forest access routes such as Willow Creek Rd and NFD 017 Rd. In the southern reaches, the terrain rises toward Square Mountain, a prominent feature overlooking the headwaters of Camp Creek and Brush Creek. The map documents a rugged interior where mining interests and natural drainage systems intersect, reflecting the remote industrial and geographic character of central Idaho's mountains at the start of the 21st century.
