1967 Map of Rock Creek Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The high ridges of the Deerlodge National Forest dominate this 1967 field survey, revealing a landscape defined by both natural water features and early industrial irrigation efforts. Elevations rise significantly at Pikes Peak and Ballard Hill, while the interior terrain is marked by alpine basins like South America Park. The water systems here are notably complex, showing a history of hydraulic engineering through features like the Old China Ditch, Korrs and Bielenberg Ditch, and Pauly Ditch. These artificial waterways cut across the natural drainages of Willow Creek and Rock Creek, likely supporting mining or agricultural interests in the lower valleys. Remnants of extraction are visible at a lone Mine near Pikes Creek, while the central basin is anchored by the large expanse of Rock Creek Lake just below the Rock Creek Falls.
