2011 Map of Browns Lake

About this map

Nevada Valley and the broad Kleinschmidt Flat define this landscape along the Blackfoot River in Powell County. The terrain is a complex network of glacial lakes and braided waterways, including Browns Lake and Kleinschmidt Lake. A notable point of human activity is the First Chance Creek Placer Mine, located near the southeastern shore of Browns Lake, illustrating the region's history with mineral extraction. Transportation and irrigation patterns are visible through features like Raymond Bridge and the Company Ditch, which cuts across the southern portion of the map near Nevada Creek. Names like Yourname Creek and Roller Coaster Rd add local character to this Montana territory, while the convergence of the North Fork Blackfoot River shows the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the valley's settlement.
