About this map

Stonewall Mountain and Red Mountain dominate this high-elevation corner of Lewis and Clark County, where a network of drainages and historic mining claims defines the landscape. The extraction history of the region is evident through features like the Copper Camp Mine near Copper Camp and the Cotter Mine located along Cotter Creek. These sites, along with the Stonewall Creek Mine, suggest a period of intense prospecting focused on the mineral-rich veins of the Continental Divide's eastern slopes.

Water resources are concentrated in high basins, notably at Upper Copper Lake and Copper Lake, which feed into the Copper Creek system. Access to these remote elevations is provided by specialized routes such as Copper Creek Rd and Stonewall Ck Rd. The map also details numerous seasonal drainages including Snowbank Creek, Sucker Creek, and Theodore Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology that supported both early mining operations and later forest management.
