About this map

The mountain settlement of Lincoln serves as the central hub of this 1968 survey, situated along the Blackfoot River where several mountain drainages converge. The landscape reflects a mix of high-altitude recreation and aviation infrastructure, evidenced by the Lincoln Airport, the Airway Beacon, and Hooper State Park. To the north and south, the Helena National Forest encompasses a complex network of gulches and creeks, including Bear Gulch and Poorman Creek.

Resource management and community life are visible through features like the Lincoln Ranger Sta, the local Rodeo Ground, and the Grosfield Ditch. The terrain rises sharply toward the southeast to Baldy Mtn, while the Liverpool Snowbank Trail provides a documented route through the northern timber. Numerous gravel pits and small mines scattered across the quadrangle point to the area's localized extractive history.
