About this map

Clancy and Alhambra anchor the western edge of this terrain, where the mountain foothills meet the valley along the course of Prickly Pear Cr. This Jefferson County landscape transitions from the concentrated residential streets and local roads like Lump Gulch Rd and Old Alhambra Rd into the high, protected reaches of the Helena National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Strawberry Butte, Burnt Mtn, and the high Elkhorn Mountains to the northeast.

Water management and drainage patterns are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Scott Reservoir and the network of gulches and creeks such as McClellan Cr and Warm Springs Cr. To the south, the open space of Elk Park provides a contrast to the dense contour lines of Lava Mtn and Mike Murray Ridge. The infrastructure follows the natural topography, with Hwy 282 and Railroad Way tracing the narrow corridor through the mountains.
