About this map

The Gardiner townsite serves as a vital gateway at the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, where the Yellowstone River and Gardiner River converge. This mountain landscape is defined by the steep transitions of the Absaroka Range and the Gallatin National Forest, with the town situated near the historic Gardiner Cem and the Yellowstone River Bridge. High-altitude features like Sheep Mtn and Parker Point overlook the drainage systems of Bear Creek and Phelps Creek.

Tracing the local infrastructure reveals a network of mountain transit including the Old Yellowstone Trail and the In-Entrance Road heading south into the park. To the northeast, the settlement of Jardine sits tucked along the Old Bear Creek Road, highlighting the area's history of isolated mountain communities. Notable geographic landmarks such as Eagle Nest Rock and Black Canyon of the Yellowstone underscore the dramatic volcanic and glacial carving of this high-country terrain.
