2000 Map of Grassy Mountain

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mountain landscape at the dawn of the 21st century, revealing a high-altitude wilderness defined by the Bozeman Ranger District and complex county lines between Gallatin and Park counties. The geography is etched with numerous named waterways, including Brackett Creek to the north and the upper reaches of Bridger Creek to the south. A prominent high point, Grassy Mountain, overlooks the drainage of Weasel Creek, while localized administrative history is preserved through labels like the Bangtail Guard Station. Human infrastructure is sparse, restricted to a lone School site in the southwestern corner and several Jeep trails. The map provides a look at the backcountry management of the Gallatin Range, showing how fire and forest administration hubs like Bishop Park were positioned to monitor the drainages of Muddy Creek and North Fork Bridger Creek before modern large-scale development shifted the character of the region.
