2011 Map of Gash Point

About this map

Starr Mine sits near the northern boundary of this high-elevation terrain, a reminder of the extractive history that once reached into these drainages. The landscape is defined by its water management and natural catchments, including the Big Creek Lakes secured by the Big Creek Lake Dam and the Big Creek Number 2 Dam. These reservoirs anchor a complex network of waterways, with Big Creek and its many tributaries, such as South Fork Big Creek and Saint Mary Creek, carving paths through the area. Recreation and observation points are central to the southern portion of the map, notably at the Bear Creek Overlook Point of Interest and the Bear Creek Trailhead. High peaks and remote lakes like Sky Pilot, Gash Point, and Hidden Lake provide distinct geographic markers for researchers tracing the hydrology of Ravalli County.
