1962 Map of Nelson

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing the remote character of Lewis and Clark County in the early 1960s. The small settlement of Nelson serves as the primary human landmark amidst a complex network of drainages and high peaks, including Sacajawea Mountain and Sawtooth Mountain. The landscape is defined by its deep gulches, such as Log Gulch, Keepout Gulch, and Checkerboard Gulch, which suggest a terrain carved by persistent seasonal water flows.
