About this map

Yellowstone National Park defines the western edge of this 2011 survey, where the Gallatin River serves as a primary drainage corridor through the high-elevation terrain. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of mountain tributaries, including Snowslide Creek, Fan Creek, and Terminal Monument Creek, which converge as they flow toward the main river valley. This map provides a clear record of the area's infrastructure and hydrology just after the turn of the 21st century.

Human presence is centered on the Gallatin River corridor, notably at the Bacon Rind Creek Road Camp. This site, situated near the confluence of Bacon Rind Creek and the river, indicates the intersection of forest management and early modern travel. Further south, the map identifies Divide Lake, a prominent hydrological feature near the headwaters of Grayling Creek. The inclusion of Migration Creek further highlights the seasonal movements and natural cycles inherent to this protected ecosystem.
