About this map

Electric Peak towers over the border of Gallatin National Forest and Yellowstone National Park, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep mountain hydrology. The settlements of Aldridge and Electric appear alongside historic cemetery sites like the Aldridge Cem and Horr Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the early mining and ranching legacy of Park County.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the Yellowstone River cutting through the eastern corridor to the high-altitude Aldridge Lake and Little Joe Lake. Unique geological markers such as the Devils Slide on the slopes of Cinnabar Mtn and the bowl-like Cinnabar Basin illustrate the complex geography. Historic travel ways, including segments of the Old Yellowstone Trail, trace the river's path, connecting these mountain outposts to the broader regional network.
