About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the southwest portion of this landscape, carving the narrow Yankee Jim Canyon between high peaks. This 2017 survey reflects the high-elevation wilderness within the Gallatin National Forest, dominated by the rugged topography of the Absaroka Range. The map documents a significant historical transportation corridor along the river, specifically the Old Yellowstone Trl S, which traces the lower elevations near Rigler Bluffs.

High mountain basins like Dailey Basin and Stands Basin are surrounded by prominent summits including Dome Mtn, Red Mtn, and Sphinx Mtn. Water systems are defined by numerous drainages such as Slip and Slide Cr and Joe Brown Cr, which feed toward the main river valley. Small alpine water bodies, including Cutler Lake and Yankee Jim Lake, are scattered among the steep slopes and named landmarks like Dick Randall Point.
