About this map

Rhodes Peak dominates the center of this 2011 survey, marking a high point in a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Kelly Creek system and Cayuse Creek. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations including Blacklead Mountain and the Williams Range, with a network of high-altitude waters such as Smokey Lake, Leo Lake, and Goat Lake scattered throughout the north and central sectors.

Evidence of historical surveying and movement through the high country is visible in labels like Cache Saddle and family-named landmarks such as Kellys Sister and Kellys Finger. The map serves as a detailed study of the hydrological divide where the North Fork Kelly Creek, Middle Fork Kelly Creek, and South Fork Kelly Creek converge, illustrating the complex watershed that feeds the region's larger river systems.
