2017 Map of Greenhorn Mountain

About this map

Blossburg sits near the southern boundary of this map, marking a critical point where the railroad passage meets the landscape of the Helena National Forest. The geography is defined by the Continental Divide, represented here by Mullan Pass and the engineering feat of the Mullan Tunnel. This area in Lewis and Clark County and Powell County is characterized by a dense network of gulches and ridges, reflecting a legacy of resource extraction and mountain transit. Notable peaks such as Bald Butte, Mt Belmont, and Greenhorn Mtn overlook a series of drainages including Silver Cr, Empire Cr, and Greenhorn Cr. The map reveals the intricate placement of smaller settlements like Skyline and Weed along the winding mountain roads. Water sources such as Sawmill Spring and the Beaver Ponds are tucked into the drainages of American Gulch and Thompson Flats, providing vital points of interest for those studying the high-altitude topography and early settlement patterns of the region.
