About this map

The Blackfoot River system and its glacial basin dominate this part of Powell County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the broad Nevada Valley and the waters of Browns Lake, Kleinschmidt Lake, and Evans Lake. Evidence of early agricultural engineering is visible in the Company Ditch, which cuts through the southern terrain to manage water for the region's ranching interests.

Transportation routes are deeply connected to the topography, with Raymond Bridge providing a vital crossing over the North Fork Blackfoot River. Other notable watercourses, such as Nevada Creek and Wales Cr, drain the surrounding hills. This survey documents the network of local access roads, including Geary Bros Cabin Rd and Dry Gulch Rd, which link the valley floor to more remote reaches like Dry Gulch and Kleinschmidt Flat.
