About this map

Earthquake Lake and the massive Madison Slide dominate this corner of the Gallatin National Forest, recording the dramatic geologic events that reshaped the corridor of the Madison River. The landscape is a study in high-altitude terrain, where the Henrys Lake Mountains and the Continental Divide form a natural boundary between Montana and Idaho.

Lower elevations transition into the Missouri Flats, while the high peaks are defined by features such as Sheep Mtn and The Horn. The map documents a network of forest and ranch roads, including Continental Divide Ranch Rd and Sheep Mountain Rd, which provide access to remote drainages like Mile Cr and Sheep Cr. These routes and named landmarks offer a detailed view of the region's wilderness management and topography in the early 21st century.
