2017 Map of Stemple Pass

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this section of the Lewis and Clark Range, where the continental divide is marked by the high point of Stemple Pass. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Whiskey Gulch and Bear Gulch, which feed into larger water bodies like the Blackfoot River to the north. Evidence of historical land management and water use appears through features such as the Pilgrim Ditch in the southern portion of the survey. The road network, featuring Stemple Pass Rd and Gravelly Range Rd, provides a clear view of how this high-altitude landscape was navigated in the early 21st century. This map offers researchers a precise look at the drainage patterns and forestry access routes within the Helena area.
