About this map

Helena National Forest spans the dramatic heights of the Continental Divide, where the border between Lewis and Clark and Powell counties follows the crest of the range. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous vital drainages, including Nevada Creek flowing west and the South Fork Little Prickly Pear Cr descending the eastern slopes. The 2001 revision illustrates the complex topography surrounding Nevada Mountain, a prominent peak that anchors the central portion of the quadrangle.

Industrial and administrative history is represented by the Cyclone Mine and another unnamed mine site located in the northern gulches, while the Nevada Creek Guard Station serves as a remote outpost for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Continental Divide Scenic Trail winds along the ridgelines, providing a modern recreation layer over a terrain historically shaped by mining prospects and water management in the Poorman Creek and Gleason Creek basins.
