About this map

Hebgen Dam controls the flow of the Madison River in this high-altitude landscape where water and topography define every route. The reservoir system, including both Hebgen Reservoir and Hebgen Lake, is bounded by prominent geologic features like Kirkwood Ridge and Hebgen Ridge. A notable inclusion is Earthquake Lake on the western edge, a reminder of the region's seismic history and the massive landslide that altered the course of the river.

Deep within the Gallatin National Forest, the map traces the Continental Divide as it cuts through the southern reaches near Coffin Mtn. The road network is sparse but telling of the area's recreational and historic character, featuring Ghost Village Rd and Firehole Ranch Rd. These routes provide access to the various forks and creeks, such as Watkins Cr and Trapper Cr, that drain the surrounding ridges into the central basin.
