2001 Map of Rogers Pass

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this section of the Northern Rockies, where the high-altitude landscape is bisected by the Continental Divide. This 2001 revision illustrates the region's complex relationship with industry and access, particularly at the Mike Horse Mine near the headwaters of the Blackfoot River. The presence of the Lincoln Ranger District and numerous forest tracks like the Denton 4WD Road suggests an area managed for both resource extraction and rugged transit. Historic mining activity is evident at the Communication Site Mine and Anaconda Hill, situated amongst steep peaks like Sunset Mountain and Roberts Mountain. Strategic points like Rogers Pass mark the crossing over the divide, while the eastern slopes drain into the Dearborn River system, punctuated by natural landmarks such as Blacktail Cave.
