About this map

Lower Red Rock Lake and the complex wetlands surrounding it define this high-altitude Montana landscape. The map shows a delicate hydrology where the West Fork Madison River and Red Rock Creek drain a broad basin punctuated by named springs and sloughs. Human presence is sparse, limited primarily to isolated outposts like Goble Ranch and Landon Camp, connected by the North Side Centennial Rd and North Valley Rd.

Dominating the northwest corner is the prominent peak of Patchtop Mountain, providing a topographic anchor to a terrain otherwise dominated by the seasonal flow of Snowshoe Creek and Odell Creek. The survey documents a critical watershed at a moment of modern environmental monitoring, where numerous creeks like Murphy Creek and Nue Creek feed into the shallow, expansive waters of the Red Rock Lakes system.
