About this map

Blackfoot Mine and the adjacent Blackfoot Tailings signify the enduring extractive legacy of this region in Lewis and Clark County. Situated along the winding Blackfoot River, the landscape is defined by the intersection of industrial history and recreation, with the Blackfoot Canyon Campground and Blackfoot Canyon Fishing Access providing riverside points of interest.

Upland features such as Kershaw Mountain and Black Mountain frame the drainage basins of Moose Creek, Sauerkraut Creek, and Little Moose Creek. The presence of the Lincoln Gulch Cemetery and the Lincoln Gulch mining area, accessed by roads like Lincoln Gulch Rd and Long Point-Spieling Gulch Rd, offers a tangible link for those researching local family ties and the settlement patterns of this Montana drainage during the early 21st century.
