1988 Map of Lower Red Rock Lake

About this map

Lower Red Rock Lake dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Centennial Valley, reflecting a period when conservation and wilderness preservation defined the region's land use. Within the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge and the dedicated Red Rock Lakes Wilderness, the map details a complex network of wetlands and drainage, including Odell Creek, Sparrow Slough, and Nye Creek. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Beaverhead National Forest, where Landon Ridge and Patchtop Mountain overlook the valley floor. The survey also captures human intersections with the environment, such as the Gravel Pit near the western edge and the boundary between Beaverhead and Madison counties, which cuts through the high ridges of the northeast corner.
