About this map

The Gallatin National Forest high country is defined by a dense concentration of named peaks and glacial lakes, centered on the Hyalite Ridge divide. This 2000 revision shows a landscape of dramatic vertical relief where drainages like Hyalite Creek and Flanders Creek create a corridor for recreational landmarks such as the Hyalite Reservoir and its associated Boat Ramp. The abundance of named cascades, including Palisade Falls, Champagne Falls, and Slippery Slot Falls, suggests a terrain shaped by steep hydrological drops and enduring snowfields.

Local landmarks such as History Rock and Window Rock punctuate the northern slopes, while high-altitude targets like Fridley Peak and Mount Chisholm anchor the southern boundary near Horseshoe Basin. The map tracks the transition from lower timbered slopes to the alpine environments surrounding Hyalite Lake and Fridley Lakes, providing a record of the backcountry trail and 4WD access points used at the turn of the millennium.
