2020 Map of Gobblers Knob

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the headwaters of the Willow Creek system converge. The topography is defined by the high point of Gobblers Knob and the surrounding drainage basins of Brackett Cr and Canyon Cr. A network of specialized forest access routes, such as the Bangtail Creek-Connector and trails like Shoe Horn and Taps, suggests a landscape managed for both resource protection and recreation. The mapping of the Middle Fork Willow Cr and S Fork Willow Cr provides a precise view of the hydrology feeding into the larger Willow Creek valley, while the northern sections show the transition from steep timberland to the more open ranching corridors along Brackett Creek Rd.
