About this map

The northern gateway to Yellowstone National Park centers on Gardiner, Montana, where the Gardner River joins the Yellowstone River. This 1986 survey documents a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and administrative boundaries, including the Gallatin National Forest and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. Beyond the settlement of Gardiner, the map reveals the mining history of the area with Quarries and various Prospects scattered near the community of Jardine to the northeast.

Transportation routes are deeply influenced by the terrain, featuring the Old National Park Boundary road and the descriptive Landslide Grade. Notable landmarks like Eagle Nest Rock and Turkey Pen Peak provide vertical orientation, while a small Cem and Heliport serve the local population. The map also traces intricate water systems from high-altitude features like Five Lakes and Slide Lake down to the major river canyons.
