1962 Map of Nelson

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Nelson sits at the heart of this landscape within the Helena National Forest, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and high mountain peaks. Mapping by photogrammetric methods in the mid-1950s captures the area's isolation and its functional infrastructure, including the Chesnut Valley Ranger Sta and several pack trails that traverse the steep topography. Significant elevations such as Sacajawea Mountain, Sawtooth Mountain, Cap Mtn, and Sheep Mtn provide a rugged backdrop to the water systems of Beaver Creek and its many tributaries.
