2011 Map of Nevada Lake

About this map

Ogden Mountain dominates the northern skyline of this Montana landscape, where the waters of Nevada Creek are harnessed by the Nevada Creek Dam to form Nevada Lake. This 2011 survey records a region defined by its historic mineral extraction and high-country meadows. The map identifies several specific mining operations, including the Higgins Mine, Blackfoot Mine, and various section-level claims like the SW NW Section 26 Mine. To the southeast, the small settlement of Mannix sits along the creek below Buffalo Gulch, while high-elevation features like Cottonwood Mdw and Braziel Lake underscore the area's wilderness character. The intricate drainage network of Chicken Creek, Sauerkraut Creek, and West Fork Indian Creek highlights the complex watershed that feeds the Nevada Creek basin.
