2020 Map of Clancy

About this map

Clancy and the neighboring settlement of Alhambra sit at the western edge of the Elkhorn Mountains, where the modern corridor of the BNSF Railway follows the path of Prickly Pear Cr. This area of Jefferson County reflects a landscape defined by significant drainage systems, including Lump Gulch, Warm Springs Cr, and McClellan Cr, which carve through the high terrain. To the east, the Helena National Forest encompasses prominent peaks such as Lava Mtn, Burnt Mtn, and the distinctive Strawberry Butte. The southern reaches of the map transition into the high meadows of Elk Park, while ridges like Mike Murray Ridge and Sleeping Giant provide natural boundaries. Several named springs, such as 08N03W16AC_01 Spring, are noted near the communities, indicating the importance of local water sources in this mountainous region.
