About this map

Yellowstone National Park and portions of the Custer and Gallatin national forests meet along the high-elevation divide where Montana and Wyoming join. The landscape is defined by the peaks of the Absaroka Range, including Cutoff Mtn, Mt Abundance, and Meridian Peak. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where the headwaters of the Stillwater River flow north while Pebble Cr and Soda Butte Cr carve deep through Soda Butte Canyon toward the south.

Backcountry travel is documented through a network of historic routes such as the Pebble Creek Trail and Bliss Pass Trail. Near the southern border, the NE Entrance Road provides a rare point of vehicle access near the Bannock Ski Trail. The map also details numerous small water bodies and tributaries like Lake Abundance and Wolverine Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of this wilderness interface.
