About this map

Baker Lake serves as the central focal point of this recreational and hydrological landscape, held in place by the Upper Baker Dam. The shoreline is heavily developed for public use, featuring a network of sites such as the Maple Grove Campground, Horseshoe Cove Campground, and the Baker Lake Resort. In the northern reach, the Morovitz Ranch sits near the confluence of Morovitz Creek and Park Creek, indicating early land use in the river valley.

High-elevation vantage points including Dillard Point Lookout and Sulphur Point Lookout flank the western ridges, while Welker Peak dominates the southeastern topography. The map illustrates a complex water system where Rocky Creek is managed by the Rocky Creek Dam before flowing toward Lake Shannon. Movement through the area is defined by the primary corridors of Baker Lake Rd and Baker River Rd.
