2020 Map of Cadotte Creek

About this map

Cadotte Pass serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of the Lewis and Clark Range, where high-elevation terrain dictates the movement of water and travelers alike. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the Helena National Forest, tracing the ridge line above a series of drainages including Surveyors Gulch and Whiskey Gulch. To the south, the industrial history of the region is evident near the Blackfoot River headwaters, where mining operations such as Mikehorse and the Paymaster 1 mine are situated. The map illustrates a landscape of narrow gulches and creek beds, with Alice Cr and Cadotte Cr carving deep paths through the timbered slopes. Notable infrastructure, such as the Cadotte Creek Bridge and E MT Highway 200, highlights the modern connectivity through this otherwise challenging mountain environment.
