2000 Map of Dome Mountain

About this map

Yellowstone River flows through the heart of this landscape, cutting through the dramatic Yankee Jim Canyon as it moves through Paradise Valley. This survey, revised at the turn of the millennium, illustrates the complex management of public and private lands, including the Dome Mountain Wildlife Management Area and the Gallatin National Forest. The presence of the Game Check Station and an Airstrip near the river indicates the area's ongoing use for wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation. Higher elevations are dominated by landmarks such as Dome Mountain, Sphinx Mountain, and the high ridges of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The map also captures local ranching history with the Oto Ranch and Trestle Ranch, while several small alpine lakes like Cutler Lake and Twin Lakes dot the drainage basins of Cedar Creek and Joe Brown Creek.
