2011 Map of Galena

About this map

Galena stands at the northern edge of this high-elevation terrain, where the Big Wood River begins its course among the peaks of Blaine County. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic drainage systems and alpine basins, notably at Galena Summit and the nearby Galena Overlook. For those interested in the human history of this mountain settlement, the Galena Pioneer Cemetery remains a significant landmark near the confluence of Senate Creek and the river. The topography is punctuated by prominent summits including Bromaghin Peak and Norton Peak, with several high-altitude water bodies such as Mill Lake, Norton Lakes, and Prairie Lakes providing focal points for the surrounding canyons. A network of creeks, including Titus Creek, Owl Creek, and Coyote Creek, carves through the mountain passes, illustrating the complex watershed that feeds the region's major river systems.
