2011 Map of Pine Creek Mountain

About this map

Pine Creek Mountain anchors this rugged section of Grant County, where the high ridges of the Blue Mountains are defined by a history of resource extraction and ranching. The landscape is marked by numerous legacy mining operations, including the Marks-Thompson Mine in the northeast and the Celebration Mine located near the Pine Creek Trailhead. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Pine Creek, Little Indian Creek, and Miners Creek carving deep canyons through the terrain. Evidence of high-country land use is visible through several established campsites and corrals, such as Yokum Corrals Camp and the uniquely named Hotel de Bum Camp. The northern reaches of the map show established agricultural footprints at Miller Ranch and Howard Ranch, while the interior remains dominated by prominent summits like Elk Mountain, Spud Mountain, and the massive Wall Creek Ridge.
