1997 Map of Metzel Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest and the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge meet in this southwestern Montana landscape, where high-mountain drainages transition into a complex wetland system. The Red Rock River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, feeding into the expansive Lower Red Rock Lake, a critical sanctuary for the trumpeter swan. This 1997 revision highlights the interface between working lands and conservation, noting the Stauden Meyer Ranch and the Metzel Creek Airfield tucked against the foothills. The terrain is defined by its water sources, from Fish Creek Lake in the north to numerous named seeps like Lousy Springs. Man-made landmarks such as Brundage Bridge and a localized Gravel Pit indicate the sparse but essential infrastructure required for movement and land management in this remote Beaverhead County corridor.
