2001 Map of Moose Creek

About this map

The Lincoln Gulch Historical Site preserves the legacy of early mining and settlement along the Blackfoot River in western Montana. This 2001 revision of earlier topography details the transition from industrial extraction to managed conservation within the Helena National Forest. The presence of the Site of Old Lincoln and the nearby Lincoln Gulch Cem offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing the roots of early Powell County communities. Across the Lincoln Ranger District, the landscape is defined by its watercourses, from the larger Blackfoot River to smaller tributaries like Sauerkraut Creek and Moose Creek. Mining history is evidenced by the Blackfoot Mine and various excavations, while modern land use is represented by the Blackfoot Canyon Fishing Access along the river banks.
