About this map

Helena serves as the focal point of this contemporary survey, situated where the South Hills and Boulder Mountains meet the valley floor. The map documents the city's complex urban grid and its proximity to state and local centers of power, including the Montana Supreme Court and the Lewis and Clark County Courthouse. Cultural and educational institutions like Carroll College and the Montana State Veterans Cem are clearly delineated alongside the modern expansion of Helena West Side and Broadwater.

Transitioning from the urban center, the landscape rises into the Helena National Forest, where historical mining and recreation paths converge. Narrow drainages like Grizzly Gulch, Oro Fino Gulch, and Last Chance Gulch trace the rugged topography south toward the settlement of Unionville. This transition from the structured streetscape of the state capital to the high peaks of Skihi Peak and Sheep Mtn illustrates the dramatic geographic setting of the region's historical development.
