1968 Map of Lincoln

About this map

Lincoln serves as a central hub for the Upper Blackfoot Valley, surrounded by the extensive wilderness of the Helena National Forest. During the late 1960s, the landscape here reflects a combination of backcountry aviation at the Lincoln Airport and local recreation at the Hooper State Park and nearby Rodeo Ground. The valley floor is defined by the winding course of the Blackfoot River, supported by an intricate network of tributaries including Poorman Creek and Keep Cool Creek. High-elevation features like Baldy Mtn and the remote Liverpool Snowbank Trail (Pack) highlight the area's transition into the steeper terrain of the Continental Divide. Evidence of early resource management is found in the Grosfield Ditch and scattered operations such as the Lincoln Ranger Sta and several noted gravel pits and mines.
