2011 Map of Noble Peak

About this map

Leiterville sits at the base of a mineral-rich mountain range, where extraction once drove the local economy. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by a high density of named mining claims, including the Bismark Mine, Snyder Mine, and Occidental Mine. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Noble Peak, Mount Jefferson, and Hollowtop Mountain, which overlook a network of alpine lakes and reservoirs. Water management is evident through various structures like Noble Dam and Bismark Reservoir, likely developed to support mining operations and early ranching. The presence of Spring Park Flat and Butterfly Flats suggests more level areas between the sharp summits, while the drainage of the South Boulder River and North Fork Indian Creek defines the local watershed. Historically, access was maintained via routes like Wisconsin Creek Rd and Indian Creek Rd, linking remote camps and work sites to the broader region.
