2020 Map of Blowout Mountain

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Pass stands as a primary focal point in this high-elevation landscape, where the Lewis and Clark Range meets the continental backbone of the Rocky Mountains. This 2020 survey details the convergence of the Lewis & Clark National Forest and the Helena National Forest, a region defined by its prominent summits and drainage basins. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the sheet, traversing between Red Mtn and Burned Point. Notable topographical features like Blowout Mtn, Sugarloaf Mtn, and the Alice Creek Basin illustrate the complex drainage systems that feed into Alice Creek and various branches of Falls Creek. Subtle historical markers such as Telephone Gulch and Wildcat Gulch hint at the area's early communication and exploration legacy.
