2010 Map of Fish Creek Reservoir

About this map

Fish Creek Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape, serving as a vital catchment for the drainage network that feeds into the Fish Creek Dam. The hydrology is defined by the convergence of several major tributaries, including West Fork Fish Creek, East Fork Fish Creek, and Fish Creek, which carve deep canyons through the mountainous terrain. Named topographic landmarks such as Stinson Hill, Pine Mountain, and Brassfield Canyon reflect a history of local land naming probably tied to early ranching or homesteading families. A network of unpaved roads, including W Fork Fish Creek Rd and Fish Creek Reservoir Rd, provides access to this isolated area, including the Fish Creek Reservoir Access Area. The map reveals a landscape managed for water storage and seasonal access, punctuated by remote water sources like Timber Butte Spring.
