2014 Map of Rogers Pass

About this map

Rogers Pass serves as a critical high-altitude point within the Lewis and Clark Range, marking the drainage divide where the Middle Fork Dearborn River and S Fork Dearborn River flow eastward toward the Missouri, while the Blackfoot River begins its westward journey. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Rittel Mtn and Sunset Mtn down to the complex drainage systems of Chambers Gulch and Dark Gulch. Much of the territory is managed as part of the Helena National Forest, though the presence of private mining-related interests is indicated by the Mike Horse area and Anaconda Hill. Local infrastructure is sparse, consisting primarily of forest routes like Sister Rd and Mike Horse Creek Rd, reflecting the area's primary functions as a corridor for watershed management and mineral history.
