2020 Map of Ash Mountain

About this map

Jardine sits on the western edge of this Montana landscape, where the town's history is tied to the slopes of Mineral Hill. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone, a dramatic geological feature where the Yellowstone River flows past landmarks like Knowles Falls. This area marks a significant boundary between the Gallatin National Forest and Yellowstone National Park, illustrating the transition from managed forest lands to the protected wilderness of the nation's first national park. High-elevation peaks such as Ash Mtn, Palmer Mtn, and Crevice Mtn overlook a network of backcountry paths, including the Yellowstone River Trail, Crevice Station Tr, and Crevice Creek Trail. For those tracing local history, the Jardine Cem provides a tangible link to the early residents of this high-altitude mining and ranching region.
