2011 Map of Nickel Mountain

About this map

Nickel Mountain dominates the landscape in this 2011 survey, a region defined by its industrial legacy and the winding path of Cow Creek. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Riddle sits adjacent to Lake Stomar Reservoir and the Riddle Cemetery, while smaller locales like Cornutt and Glenbrook appear further west along the creek valley. The map reveals an extensive network of Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM Road 29-6-34.1, providing access to the higher elevations of Langell Ridge and Boomer Hill. The name Nickel Mine RD leading toward Rail Gulch points to the area's history of mineral extraction. Water resources are plentiful throughout the drainages, including Hiles Reservoir and numerous tributaries like Catching Creek and Thompson Creek, which carve through the terrain surrounding Mount Isaac and Jerry Flat.
