About this map

Lewis and Clark Pass stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation area, where the Lewis & Clark National Forest meets the Helena National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the Continental Divide, which is traced by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl as it winds past Burned Point and Red Mtn. The map reveals a complex drainage network feeding into the Alice Creek Basin and the headwaters of Falls Creek.

Significant topographical features include the steep Falls Creek Ridge and the prominent Blowout Mtn, while early transit and communication routes are suggested by the naming of Telephone Gulch and the Lewis and Clark Pass Trl. This terrain remains largely undeveloped, protected by designations such as the Scapegoat Wilderness and the Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area, preserving the character of the mountain passes that have served as critical crossings for centuries.
