About this map

The Boulder River carves a deep north-south corridor through this high-altitude landscape on the border of Park Co Sweet Grass Co. This 2000 revision shows the river as a focal point for backcountry access and recreation, anchoring sites like Camp-on-the-Boulder and the Big Beaver area. The transition between the Gallatin National Forest and the protected Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness is marked by steep elevation gains toward summits like Chrome Mountain and Contact Mountain.

Water features dominate the drainage patterns, with Falls Creek, Chippy Creek, and Speculator Creek feeding into the main river valley. Small crossings such as Twomile Bridge and Flemming Bridge facilitate movement along the river, while the East Boulder Plateau defines the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map is a detailed record of land management boundaries and high-country hydrology at the turn of the 21st century.
