2020 Map of Dunn Creek

About this map

Boulder Valley and the surrounding drainage of the Boulder River define this corner of Jefferson County. The map details an intricate irrigation system critical to the local valley economy, including the Casey Ditch, Murphy Ditch, and Murphy Quaintance Ditch. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward the timbered slopes of the Deerlodge National Forest, where landmarks like Bull Mtn and Wilson Ridge overlook the deep incisions of North Dunn Canyon and Dunn Canyon. Significant for family researchers, the Boulder Valley Cem is situated near Quinn Cr, providing a genealogical anchor for the area. Recreational and geographical interests are noted at Quaintance Park and Long Park, while several natural water sources such as McKenna Spring and Long Park Spring suggest the hydrological importance of this montane landscape.
