About this map

Hyalite Reservoir and the high elevations of the Gallatin Range dominate this study of south-central Montana within the Gallatin National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and significant geological features, including the Arch Natural Bridge and several notable cascades such as Palisade Falls, Grotto Falls, and Silken Skein Falls.

A network of trails and access points like Hyalite Canyon Rd and the Wildhorse Cutoff provide a window into how the backcountry is navigated. Named peaks with distinctive monikers like The Mummy, Sleeping Giant Mtn, and Maid of the Mist Mtn suggest a long history of local lore and landmark identification. To the south, Fridley Peak and Hyalite Peak mark the height of land along the Gallatin Crest, forming the boundary between Gallatin and Park counties.
