About this map

Crazy Peak and the surrounding high-elevation interior of the Gallatin National Forest dominate this survey along the border of Park and Sweet Grass counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and alpine water bodies, including Oasis Lakes, Diamond Lake, and the source of Cottonwood Cr. The topography here is exceptionally steep, dropping from the summits of Big Timber Peak and Wilsall Peak into deep incisions like Big Timber Canyon.

A notable hydrological pattern emerges with numerous creek forks, such as Middle Fork Big Timber Cr and the N Fork Sweet Grass Cr, radiating from the central peaks. This environment features isolated landmarks like Thunder Rapids and Twin Lakes, illustrating the glaciated character of this Montana range. The map provides a detailed view of the natural drainage systems before they reach the lower valleys beyond the forest boundary.
