About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this Montana landscape, where the high ridgelines of Chestnut Mtn and Bald Knob define the drainage patterns of the northern Rockies. The settlement at Hoffman and the nearby Trail Creek Station sit along a network of mountain roads including Trail Creek Rd and Goose Creek Rd, which provide access to the area's timber and recreational lands.

Water is a central feature of the terrain, with the Old Cooper Reservoir and alpine bodies like Bear Lakes, Crystal Lake, and Pine Lake distributed throughout the high elevations. Deeply carved drainages such as Bear Canyon, Browns Gulch, and Morrison Gulch direct snowmelt into systems like Trail Cr and the various forks of W Pine Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Gallatin and Park County border.
