1986 Map of Big Horn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Gallatin National Forest converge on this high-altitude landscape where the Gallatin River cuts through the western reaches. The presence of the Petrified Forest on the northern slopes indicates the significant geological history of this volcanic terrain, where ridges like Specimen Ridge overlook deep drainages. An extensive network of routes, including the Daly Creek Pack Trail and Buffalo Horn Pack Trail, suggests a wilderness managed for remote access rather than automotive travel, preserving the character of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. High peaks such as Big Horn Peak and Canary Bird Peak dominate the skyline, while isolated water bodies like Buffalo Horn Lakes and Shelf Lake mark the alpine basins. The map captures the boundary between Montana and Wyoming, highlighting the intersection of state lines and federal lands.
