Nelson lies at a convergence of forest roads and creek beds within the Helena National Forest, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation terrain of Lewis and Clark County. The landscape is dominated by the steep rises of Sacajawea Mtn, Cap Mtn, and Sawtooth Mtn, which frame the protected drainages of the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness.
