2012 Map of Triple Peak

About this map

Triple Peak and the high ridges of Mount McDougal define this high-elevation landscape in Lincoln County, where complex drainage networks feed into the major forks of Cottonwood Creek. The map reveals a high-country environment where narrow forest roads like 125 and 10050 navigate between prominent summits and alpine basins. The presence of Tie-Hack Cabins near Hidden Basin Cr suggests the area's legacy of timber work, specifically the harvesting of railroad ties that once fueled the expansion of Western transit lines. High meadows such as Foster Meadows and geologic features like the Triplet Vents punctuate the terrain between the north and south forks. Water resources are plentiful, with Soda Lake and numerous named tributaries including Lander Cr, Nylanden Cr, and Sjhoberg Cr carving deep paths through the mountain massif.
