2024 Map of Cutoff Mountain

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness meet at the Montana-Wyoming border, where high-alpine terrain dominates the landscape north of the NE Entrance Road. The small settlement of Silver Gate serves as a gateway to this mountain corridor, situated in Soda Butte Canyon near the state line. The map highlights a network of remote trails, including the Pebble Creek Trl and Lake Creek Trl, which navigate the complex ridges of the Beartooth Mountains and Absaroka Range. A significant hydrologic divide is clear, with waters feeding the Stillwater River to the north and Soda Butte Creek to the south. Distinctive peaks such as Cutoff Mtn, Meridian Peak, and Mt Abundance anchor the topography, illustrating the high-elevation environments managed by the Gallatin National Forest.
