2017 Map of Hound Creek Reservoir

About this map

Adel sits at the eastern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of several drainages begin their descent. The map reveals a complex hydraulic network centered on Hound Creek Reservoir and the smaller Spring Cr Reservoir, which collect runoff from the surrounding peaks and flats. Elevated features like Black Mtn, Adel Mtn, and the distinctive formations of The Pinnacles define the horizon. The drainage pattern is exceptionally detailed, showing how Tyrell Cr, Dog Cr, and the various forks of W Fork Hound Cr and E Fork Hound Cr carve through the terrain. From the high plateau of Wosinek Flats to the depression of Wade Coulee, the map documents a transition from mountain ridges to the open spaces of Upper Park.
