About this map

Electric Peak dominates the southern reaches of this mountain landscape, marking the transition into Yellowstone National Park. Along the eastern edge, the Yellowstone River cuts through the corridor near Corwin Springs, followed closely by the historic route of the Old Yellowstone Trail S. This area serves as a significant gateway to the park, where the high-altitude terrain of the Gallatin National Forest meets the river valley.

The mining history of the region is evident in the upland settlement of Aldridge, situated near Aldridge Lake and its associated Aldridge Cem. Further north, geological landmarks like the Devils Slide on the face of Cinnabar Mtn define the local topography. Smaller water features such as Little Joe Lake and Deaf Jim Knob are scattered throughout the high country, while the community of Electric and the Horr Cem sit lower in the valley near the park boundary.
