About this map

Helena National Forest encompasses the high country of the Big Belt Mountains, where the drainage divide separates the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic. This contemporary survey tracks the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl as it winds across the ridgelines near Nevada Mtn, a prominent peak that anchors the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map details an extensive network of historic pathways and timber routes, including the Helmville - Gould Trl and the Prickly/nevada Trl, which follow the natural contours of gulches and creek beds.

Water systems define the landscape, with Poorman Creek and its South Fork Poorman Creek flowing through the northern slopes, while Nevada Creek and Shingle Mill Creek drain the southwestern reaches. The boundary between Lewis and Clark and Powell counties splits the terrain, marking the administrative limits within this protected mountain wilderness. Modern road access is primarily represented by Stemple Pass Rd, providing a route through the rugged interior of the forest.
