Hell Gate, Montana
Hell Gate (sometimes known as Hell Gate Ronde, Hell's Gate or Hellgate) is a ghost town at the western end of the Missoula Valley in Missoula County, Montana, United States. The town was located on the banks of the Clark Fork River roughly five miles downstream from present-day Missoula near what is now Frenchtown.〔Fogarty, Kate Hammond. ''The Story of Montana.'' New York and Chicago: A. S. Barnes company, 1916.〕
==Geography==
Hell Gate lay at the west end of the Missoula Valley. About 13,000 BCE, the advance of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet created an ice dam on the Clark Fork which created Glacial Lake Missoula.〔Alt, David and Hundman, Donald W. ''Northwest Exposures: A Geologic History of the Northwest.'' Missoula, Mont.: Mountain Press, 1995. ISBN 0-87842-323-0; Bjornstad, Bruce N. ''On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods: A Geological Field Guide to the Mid-Columbia Basin.'' Sandpoint, Idaho: Keokee Books. ISBN 978-1-879628-27-4〕 After the Missoula Floods and the final draining of Glacial Lake Missoula about 11,000 BCE, the lake sediment dried and became the fertile Missoula Valley.〔〔
The Hell Gate Valley is framed by the Rattlesnake Mountains to the north and northeast and the Bitterroot Mountains to the southeast, south, and west. Since the early 1900s, the area has been surrounded by the Lolo National Forest. The eastern mouth of the valley is defined by a narrow pass between Mount Jumbo and Mount Sentinel, which leads to Hellgate Canyon.〔 The western mouth is less well-defined and narrow, and leads to Ninemile Divide.
The community of Hell Gate was located at (46.8832566, -114.0870563), at an elevation of 3,123 feet (952 m).
