2024 Map of Lower Red Rock Lake

About this map

Centennial Valley dominates this high-altitude landscape where the complex wetlands of Lower Red Rock Lake transition into the slopes of Landon Ridge. This area is largely defined by conservation boundaries, including the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge and the Red Rock Lakes Wilderness, which protect the intricate network of water features like Sparrow Slough and Nye Creek. To the north, the terrain rises toward Patchtop Mtn within the Beaverhead National Forest. The map illustrates a remote intersection of hydrology and topography, where the headwaters of the West Fork Madison River sit near the Continental Divide. Human presence is limited to scattered corridors like N Valley Rd and Landon Ridge Rd, reflecting a landscape managed primarily for wildlife and watershed integrity in the 21st century.
