About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape along the Continental Divide in Lewis and Clark and Powell counties. The peak of Nevada Mountain serves as a prominent landmark in a region defined by complex drainage systems and steep gulches. Historical transit through the mountains is marked by the winding path of Stemple Pass Rd at the northern edge, providing access to the various drainages that flow from the divide.

Water distribution is particularly intricate here, with the headwaters of Poorman Cr and the S Fork Poorman Cr flowing east, while Nevada Cr and its tributaries, including Gleason Cr and Shingle Mill Cr, drain the western slopes. Numerous named hollows like Mcquithy Gulch, Mead Gulch, and Beartrap Gulch suggest a history of local prospecting and timber activity within the national forest boundaries.
