2001 Map of Louisville

About this map

Louisville and Clasoil sit along the primary transport corridor in this high-plains landscape, where the valley floor meets the rising elevations of the Spokane Hills. The map documents a transition from the engineered water management of the Helena Valley Canal in the north to the protected timberlands of the Helena National Forest in the south. Local industry and education are represented by the Economy Mine and the Spokane Creek School, indicating a settled rural community. The complex topography is defined by numerous drainage systems including Mitchell Gulch, Corral Creek, and Deep Gulch, which carve through the terrain near prominent landmarks like Little Butte. This 2001 revision illustrates the convergence of three counties—Lewis and Clark, Jefferson, and Broadwater—within a landscape shaped by both natural resource extraction and modern infrastructure like the prominent Pipeline.
