1995 Map of Blowout Mountain

About this map

Lewis and Clark Pass stands as a significant point of passage through the Alice Creek Range in this mid-1990s survey of the Montana high country. The map documents the overlap of the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Helena National Forest, split by the winding path of the Continental Divide Scenic Trail. This wilderness landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, from the high summits of Red Mountain and Blowout Mountain down to the drainage systems of Alice Creek and Falls Creek. Evidence of local forest management and remote activity is visible at the Alice Creek Ranger Cabin and the secluded Hunting Camp situated along the drainage of Bedrock Creek. The map provides a detailed record of the forest's hydrological network, including the West Fork Falls Creek and the deep incisions of Telephone Gulch and Wildcat Gulch.
