2011 Map of Smiley Mountain

About this map

Smiley Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape, where a dense cluster of mountain lakes defines the geography. In the northwest, Golden Lake, Big Lake, and Rough Lake are interconnected by Lake Creek, while Iron Bog Lake and Fishpole Lake sit at the headwaters of the Left Fork Iron Bog Creek to the south. The drainage patterns on this map are particularly intricate, with the Right Fork Bear Creek and Middle Fork Bear Creek flowing east, while Smiley Creek originates near Smiley Meadows. This 2011 survey records the road network as it existed in the early 21st century, showing routes winding through Big Canyon and Hurst Canyon along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures an unpopulated wilderness area of Blaine County, focusing entirely on natural features and water systems.
