2011 Map of Treasure Mountain

About this map

Treasure Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate this part of Lincoln County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial action and high-altitude hydrology. The drainage network is complex, with headwaters such as Horse Creek and the South Fork Flower Creek flowing eastward, while Camp Creek and Dry Creek cut through the western terrain. The presence of the Victor-Empire Mine and Silver Mountain Mine near Granite Creek points to the area's mineral prospects, located at the end of the Flower Lake Rd corridor. Dozens of alpine basins hold named waters like Wishbone Lake, Vimy Lake, and Granite Lake, reflecting the geologic character of the Hanging Valley. Significant elevations like Gus Brink Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain offer a clear record of the region's topography before more modern development.
