2011 Map of Blue Mountain Dam

About this map

Blue Mountain Lake dominates the upper half of this landscape, created by the Blue Mountain Dam along the Petit Jean River. The surrounding area is characterized by several distinct peaks including Potato Hill Mountain, Flood Mountain, and Dry Creek Mountain, which rise above the river valleys. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds such as the Alexander A Scott Cemetery, Rock Creek Cemetery, and the Small Smith Cemetery located near Quarry Heights. The settlement of Waveland serves as a local hub near the lake, featuring the Waveland Post Office and several public recreation sites including the Ashley Creek Recreation Area and Waveland Park Recreation Area, which reflect the area's development for utility and leisure.
