2014 Map of Cutoff Mountain

About this map

The high-altitude borderlands between Montana and Wyoming converge at the settlement of Silver Gate, where the NE Entrance Rd provides access into the northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park. This 2014 survey documents a landscape dominated by massive peaks of the Absaroka Range, including Cutoff Mtn and Mt Abundance. The drainage patterns here are complex, with headwaters like Lake Abundance Cr and Wolverine Cr feeding the Stillwater River system, while Pebble Cr flows south through Soda Butte Canyon. The map reveals the meeting point of three major federal jurisdictions: Custer National Forest, Gallatin National Forest, and the national park, providing a precise record of these administrative boundaries and the topographic features that define them, such as Wolverine Pass and Meridian Peak.
