About this map

Newlan Creek carves through this corner of Meagher County, serving as the central axis for a series of drainage gulches and local industry. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both natural water systems and early 21st-century extraction, featuring the Newland Creek Quarry and multiple mining sites such as the SW NE Section 10 Mine and NW NE Section 18 Mine.

Topographically, the area is defined by a dense network of gulches—including Chinaman Gulch, Snaggy Gulch, and Thornquist Gulch—that descend from higher elevations like Smoky Mountain and Butler Hill. To the south, the terrain shifts toward more significant water bodies like Crater Lake and the headwaters of Reese Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the complex resource-road network, specifically Stud Horse Rd, which links these remote work sites and landmarks.
