About this map

Granite Peak and the surrounding heights of the Beartooth Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the boundaries of Custer National Forest and Gallatin National Forest. The map detail captures the convergence of Park, Stillwater, and Carbon counties at these high summits, illustrating a wilderness shaped by massive peaks like Mystic Mtn, Tempest Mtn, and Mt Villard.

Water is a constant presence in the form of alpine basins and glacial drainages, including the expansive Mystic Lake and the smaller Island Lake along W Rosebud. To the south and west, the terrain is dotted with high-elevation water bodies such as Sky Top Lakes, Lake Turgulse, and Upper Aero Lake. Notable landmarks like the curiously named Froze-to-Death Mtn and Glacier Peak highlight the formidable nature of this Montana territory.
