2014 Map of Helena

About this map

Last Chance Gulch cuts through the center of this mountain landscape, marking the historic gold-mining roots of Helena. The terrain transitions from the urban grid and the campus of Carroll Coll into the wooded heights of the Helena National Forest. To the south, smaller settlements like Unionville and Park City sit among a dense network of gulches, including Grizzly Gulch and Orofino Gulch, reflecting the region's complex mining geography. Several significant burial grounds are documented, from the Montana State Veterans Cem near Fort Harrison Army Air Field to the Home of Peace Cem. The map also captures the path of the Helena Valley Canal as it serves the northern valley, while peaks like Mt Helena and Mt Ascension overlook the city and the nearby county line with Jefferson County.
