2011 Map of Pika Point

About this map

Potamogeton Park and the high basins of the Madison Range define this landscape, where a dense network of alpine lakes and seasonal streams feeds into the Beaver Creek drainage. The geography is characterized by high-altitude plateaus and drainage basins, including the Carrot Basin, Sunlight Basin, and Sage Basin. Named peaks such as Boat Mountain, Apex Point, and the namesake Pika Point provide significant landmarks for understanding the local topography. This 2011 survey captures the area's hydrology in detail, showing a cluster of small lakes such as Axolotl Lake, Minnie Lake, and Juncus Lake that sit tucked between ridges. Human access is limited to the corridor along Beaver Creek Rd, reflecting the managed and protected nature of this mountain environment.
