2017 Map of Wilborn

About this map

The tiny settlement of Wilborn serves as a geographic anchor in this high-altitude landscape within the Helena National Forest. Positioned near the intersection of Lincoln Rd W, Old Toll Rd, and Stemple Pass Rd, the area's development is clearly defined by its historical transportation routes through the Lewis and Clark Range. The map reveals a drainage system marked by steep gulches such as Bear Gulch, Miners Gulch, and Sawmill Gulch, many of which feed into watercourses like Big Mill Cr and Little Mill Cr. The presence of the Flesher Pass on the western edge of the quadrangle highlights the importance of mountain crossings in this part of Montana. For local historians and geographers, the map provides a look at the transition between dense forest and the valley bottoms shaped by Wilborn Cr and Rattlesnake Cr.
