About this map

Shields River and its numerous tributaries define this high-country landscape in Park County during the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex network of drainage systems, including Lena Creek, Elk Creek, and Daisy Dean Creek, which are supported by several water management features such as the Pepper Number 1 Dam and Nollmeyer Number 1 Dam. This area is characterized by low-density infrastructure and ranching-related labels, suggesting a terrain dominated by wide-open drainages and isolated operations.

Local industry is represented by the McCauley North Mine located in the western portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is primarily limited to gravel and dirt routes like Porcupine Rd and Elk Creek Rd, which converge at the junction known as Four Corners. Researchers will find a snapshot of modern rural land use where naming conventions often reflect family legacies, seen in routes such as Mather Ln and Walton Rd.
