2011 Map of Whitetail Peak

About this map

Whitetail Peak dominates this landscape in Jefferson County, where the 2011 survey documents a high-altitude terrain defined by hydrologic infrastructure and mountain meadows. The most prominent feature is the Whitetail Reservoir, held by the Whitetail Dam, which feeds into Little Whitetail Creek. Evidence of grazing and land management is seen in the Stockmens Association Cabin, while the geography is punctuated by open alpine clearings such as Bakers Meadows, Halfway Park, and Lost Park. Resource extraction is recorded through several identified mining sites including the NW NW Section 13 Mine and the SW SW Section 14 Mine. Multiple drainage systems, including Nez Perce Creek and International Creek, cross the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed of this mountain region.
