The town of Lincoln sits at the heart of this high-country landscape, positioned where the valley of the Blackfoot River opens up beneath the peaks of the Helena National Forest. By the early 2000s, the area reflects a mix of remote Montana ranching life and specialized infrastructure, featuring the Jacobson Ranch alongside the Lincoln Airport and its nearby Airway Beacon. The geography is defined by a dense network of water, with Keep Cool Creek and Poorman Creek draining the southern gulches. Local history is anchored by sites like the Lincoln Cemetery and the Rodeo Ground, while the Hooper State Park preserves riverfront space near the town center. The map also captures remnants of local industry and prospecting, noting several Gravel Pits and a Mine tucked into the steep drainages of McCarthy Gulch and Canyon Creek.
