2020 Map of Big Draw

About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses the high mountain ridges and deep drainages of this area in Park County. The landscape is defined by its complex network of watercourses and topographical breaks, most notably the central depression of Big Draw and the high-elevation basin of Mud Lake. In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, several branches of Miller Creek and Fridley Cr carve through the terrain, while the northern section is dominated by the N Fork Eightmile and N Dry Divide. The presence of Point Stupid and multiple sections of Pole Gulch suggest a history of local nomenclature tied to the varied and steep geography. Though largely roadless, the far southern edge contains modern access via Gemini Rd and Orion Wy, providing a rare point of entry into the wooded backcountry of the t5s r8e boundary.
