2011 Map of Miller Lake

About this map

Miller Lake and the adjacent Sylvan Lake define the central hydrology of this Montana landscape, where the East Fisher Creek drainage meets the high summits of the Cabinet Mountains. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations including Owl Peak, Jumbo Peak, and Blacktail Peak, while several significant passes like Himes Pass and Willow Creek Pass provide narrow transit corridors through the steep relief. In the southwest, the Vermilion River flows past Vermilion Falls, situated near several small drainages with gold-prospecting history such as Sparrow Gulch and Thirteen Gulch. A network of Forest Service roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 6754 Rd, provides access into these remote basins, tracing the paths of Colonite Creek and Houghton Creek beneath the shadows of the peaks.
