2024 Map of Beacon Point

About this map

Spanish Peaks and the high-elevation terrain of the Gallatin National Forest define this landscape along the border of Madison and Gallatin counties. The map captures a wilderness area dominated by significant peaks such as Beacon Point and Rugged Mountain, where travel is largely restricted to established paths like the Indian Ridge Trl and Little Hellroaring Creek Trl. Water features are central to the geography, with Arrow Lake, Grayling Lake, and Diamond Lake tucked into the high basins, feeding tributaries such as North Fork Spanish Creek and Hell Roaring Creek. While the interior is largely undeveloped within the Lee Metcalf Wilderness, the northeastern corner shows signs of early-settlement history near the Gallatin River, marked by the Edens Cem and connections to Gallatin Rd.
