2014 Map of Big Horn Peak

About this map

Big Horn Peak and the surrounding heights of the Gallatin Range dominate this 2014 survey along the high-elevation boundary of Yellowstone National Park and Gallatin National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the headwaters of the Gallatin River and Specimen Creek descend from prominent ridges like Specimen Ridge and Meldrum Mountain. Significant alpine features such as Shelf Lake and Buffalo Horn Lakes are tucked into the high country, while Daly Pass provides a navigable break in the northern terrain. Down in the valley, the Gallatin Road corridor and the Black Butte Bridge mark the primary infrastructure linking this wilderness to the wider region. The map highlights the intersection of Gallatin and Park Counties at the Montana-Wyoming state line, illustrating the administrative layers over this high-mountain geography.
