2011 Map of Noxon Rapids Dam

About this map

The Noxon Reservoir dominates this section of Sanders County, created by the massive Noxon Rapids Dam on the Clark Fork. The settlement of Tuscor sits along the eastern shore, positioned near the intersection of Old Hwy and the local rail infrastructure. This 2011 survey details the complex network of forest and access roads, such as McKay Creek Rd and Swamp Creek Rd, which penetrate the steep elevations of Green Mountain and Tuscor Hill. The landscape is defined by deep drainages and gulches, including Miller Gulch, Burr Gulch, and Iff Gulch, illustrating the rugged topography that surrounds the reservoir. For researchers, the map provides a clear view of the modern shoreline, including features like Rock Island and the various forks of McKay Creek feeding into the basin.
