About this map

Helena West Side occupies the eastern margin of this mountain landscape, where the urban edge meets the expansive drainage basins of the Helena National Forest. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Black Mountain and Colorado Mtn, which overlook a network of gulches and creeks. Major watercourses such as Tenmile Cr, Blue Cloud Cr, and Sweeney Cr carve through the terrain, while Black Hall Meadows provides a distinct break in the mountain profile.

Transportation and utility are represented by the presence of Ten Mile Airport and Duncan Airport, located near the corridor of Us-12. The map details a complex system of mountain roads, including Priest Pass Rd and Rimini Rd, which facilitate movement between the forest and the valley. Regional boundaries are also clearly delineated, specifically the line between Lewis and Clark Co and Jefferson Co, marking the transition between these two Montana jurisdictions.
