2024 Map of Swede Gulch

About this map

Lincoln serves as the primary settlement hub in this region of the Helena National Forest, situated where the Blackfoot River winds through the valley. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks, including Keep Cool Creek, Landers Fork, and the complex systems of Swede Gulch and Swede Hollow. Human activity is recorded in the agricultural engineering of the Grosfield Ditch and a network of timber and ranch roads like Old Mill Rd and Gehring Ranch Rd. Conservation efforts are prominent here, with the Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area bordering the forest lands. For those following the high ridges, the Continental Divide National Scenic Tr traverses the southern peaks, passing near Crater Mtn and the headwaters of Poorman Creek.
