About this map

The mountain settlement of Jardine serves as a focal point for this 2024 map, situated at the boundary of massive federal lands in Park County. The map details a landscape where historic mining activity and modern wilderness conservation meet, featuring the Jardine Cem and Mineral Hill just north of the Yellowstone National Park border. This area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone to the summits of Ash Mountain and Crevice Mtn.

A network of backcountry routes, including the Crevice Creek Trl and High Specimen Trl, provides access through the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The southern portion of the map follows the winding course of the Yellowstone River, marking the transition into the park near Knowles Falls. The presence of numerous named peaks and creeks like Bear Creek and Palmer Mtn highlights the complex drainage systems that feed into the Yellowstone basin.
