About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where deep canyons and high ridges converge above the Gallatin River. The terrain is marked by significant vertical features such as Storm Castle and Spire Rock, and is anchored by the Garnet Mountain Lookout Tower in the center of the sheet. To the south, the protected wilderness of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness contains landmarks like Hoodoo Cascade and Lava Lake.

Access through this wilderness is documented via established routes like the Pack Trail, while the Squaw Creek Forest Service Station provides a human footprint near the confluence of Squaw Creek and the river. Numerous alpine water bodies, including Rat Lake and the Lake of the Pines, are distributed across the high country, draining through a dense network of creeks like Greek Creek and Wilson Creek into the Gallatin Canyon.
