About this map

Nevada Mtn stands as a central landmark within the Helena National Forest, marking a landscape defined by high ridges and deep gulches. The terrain is crisscrossed by a historical network of transport routes, including the Gould/Helmville Trail and the Washington Gulch Trail, which reflect the early mining and ranching access patterns of the region. Many of these routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting prominent drainage areas like Beartrap Gulch and McQuithy Gulch.

Modern recreation and preservation are represented by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which winds through the eastern portion of the map. This area, spanning the border of Lewis and Clark and Powell counties, remains a significant corridor for water resources, with numerous seasonal and perennial streams such as Huckleberry Cr and Shingle Mill Cr feeding into the larger watersheds of the Montana Rockies.
