About this map

Electric Peak stands as the dominant summit at the intersection of the Montana Wyoming border, anchoring a landscape where industrial heritage meets protected wilderness. The drainage of the Yellowstone River serves as a primary corridor, passing through settlements like Corwin Springs and the site of Horr. Historical resource extraction is evident near Aldridge, where a Mine Shaft and Coke Ovens indicate the area's coal mining and processing legacy.

Dramatic geological features like the Devils Slide on the face of Cinnabar Mountain characterize the terrain north of the Yellowstone National Park boundary. The map documents a complex mix of land use, from the primitive reaches of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness to recreational points like the McConnell Fishing Access. The presence of a Gaging Station and Patrol Cabin reflect the active management of the Gallatin National Forest during this period at the turn of the 21st century.
