2017 Map of Nevada Mountain

About this map

Nevada Mtn anchors the high divide of this high-altitude landscape where Helena National Forest spans the border of Lewis and Clark and Powell counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and gulches, with Stemple Pass Rd providing passage through the northern reaches. Waterways such as Poorman Cr and the S Fork Little Prickly Pear Cr carve deep paths through the forest, reflecting the complex topography of the continental divide region. The surveyor's grid overlays a land of named features like McQuithy Gulch and Mead Gulch, which suggest a history of early prospecting and timber activity. This 2017 record captures the drainages of the Nevada Cr and Gleason Cr as they flow from the heights of the mountain, illustrating the hydrologic importance of this protected forest area.
