2012 Map of Mary Lake

About this map

Mary Lake sits near the high elevations of the Central Plateau, surrounded by a complex network of drainage systems in this 2012 study. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several prominent waterways, including Nez Perce Cr and the winding course of Spruce Cr. To the north, Mary Mountain stands as a significant landmark overlooking the basin where Cowan Cr and Magpie Cr originate. The hydrology of the area is further characterized by the southward-flowing Juniper Cr and White Cr, illustrating the rugged and undeveloped nature of this Park County terrain. This map provides a detailed record of the high-altitude water systems and physical geography as they existed in the early 21st century.
