2001 Map of Nelson

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this landscape in Lewis and Clark County, where the sharp transition between valley floors and high peaks is clearly documented. The small settlement of Nelson serves as a central landmark amidst a complex drainage system that includes Beaver Creek and Favorite Gulch. To the north, the protected Gates of the Mountains Wilderness encompasses rugged heights such as Sacajawea Mountain and Cap Mtn, reflecting the preservation of the Montana backcountry. The map captures a moment of modern land management, showing a significant Pipeline corridor cutting through the terrain alongside family-named landmarks like Cochran Gulch and Potts Gulch. This 2001 revision, based on earlier surveys, provides a detailed record of the road and trail network that facilitates movement through the wilderness and the forest.
