About this map

The Continental Divide carves a high path through this mountainous section of the Helena National Forest in the early 1960s. At the heart of the terrain lies Rogers Pass, where the landscape drops into the drainage basins of the Dearborn River and the Blackfoot River. The presence of the Mike Horse Mine near the headwaters of Anaconda Creek indicates the area's legacy of resource extraction, accompanied by a small reservoir noted with its Spillway Elev 5491.

Evidence of recreation and mountain transit appears through the Evergreen Cabins and a Lodge situated along the lower slopes, while the Keep Cool Trail offers a glimpse into the forest's primitive access routes. Named peaks such as Sunset Mountain, Denton Mountain, and Roberts Mountain define the high ridges, overlooking deep drainages like Chambers Gulch and Willet Gulch. This survey documents a landscape where industrial mining interests and high-altitude wilderness management intersect.
