About this map

Patterson Prairie and the surrounding drainages of the Helena National Forest define this 2020 landscape on the border of Powell and Lewis and Clark counties. The terrain is a network of water management and natural flows, featuring the Lincoln Ditch 1 which cuts across the northern slopes above Lincoln Gulch. The Blackfoot River moves through the central corridor, fed by numerous tributaries including Sauerkraut Cr, Little Moose Cr, and Moose Cr.

High points like Black Mtn, Kershaw Mtn, and Shirley Mtn overlook a region shaped by timber and water access. Local history is anchored at the Lincoln Gulch Cem and along the various forest roads like Patterson Prairie Rd and Lincoln Gulch Rd. This survey documents the intersection of wild forest lands and the necessary infrastructure of Montana's mountain valleys, from the high Long Point down to the creek beds of Wasson Cr and Wilson Cr.
