About this map

Gateway Pass sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide separates the Teton and Flathead county line. This wilderness environment is defined by the convergence of three major protected areas: the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Lewis and Clark National Forest, and the Flathead National Forest. Significant peaks such as Mount Drewyer, Mount Patrick Gass, and Bighorn Mountain dominate the skyline, overseeing a complex network of drainage basins including the Middle Fork Birch Creek and South Fork Birch Creek.

A single Sabado Cabin provides a rare human marker near Gateway Creek, while the remote Gateway Gorge and Big River Meadows suggest a landscape largely untouched by modern development. The map details the intricate relationship between the sharp elevation of Corrugate Ridge and the winding stream valleys of Tubby Creek and Spike Creek, illustrating the topography that forms the hydrological backbone of the region.
