2014 Map of Nevada Lake

About this map

Nevada Lake serves as a central anchor for this part of the Avon Valley, where the waters of Nevada Creek are impounded before flowing toward the southwest. The landscape is defined by the transitions between the high peaks of Ogden Mountain and the deep incisions of Puzzle Gulch and Canarway Gulch. Much of the northern and eastern terrain falls within the Helena National Forest, illustrating the intersection of managed timberlands and private valley ranching. The small settlement of Mannix sits near the confluence of several mountain streams, including Gallagher Creek and No Name Creek. This 2014 survey documents a network of forest roads such as Nevada Ogden Road and residential developments like those along Timberlake Lane, showing how modern access has reached into these traditional mountain drainages.
