2011 Map of McClellan Mountain

About this map

McClellan Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape in Grant County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep drainage basins. To the north, First Peak and Second Peak rise above the headwaters of Moon Creek and McClellan Creek, while Cinnabar Mountain stands as a notable landmark to the east. The southern portion of the map reveals a dense network of watercourses including Murderers Creek and its many tributaries like Charlie Mack Creek and Luce Creek. This area is characterized by high meadows and flats, most notably Riley Creek Meadows and Bear Flat, which likely served as important seasonal grazing or transit points. Geological and geographic interest is found in features such as The Hole and Packsaddle Gap, along with numerous springs like Cold Spring and Hoppy Spring that provide vital water sources in this elevated interior region.
