1993 Map of Hebgen Lake

About this map

The Madison Range and Gallatin Mountains converge in this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming meet. Centered on Hebgen Lake, the map documents the complex hydrology of the Madison River and the stark geological history represented by Earthquake Lake. The settlement of West Yellowstone serves as a gateway at the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, while further west, the Centennial Valley hosts the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. This region, largely comprised of the Beaverhead, Gallatin, and Targhee National Forests, includes specialized land uses such as the U S Sheep Experiment Station. Remote mountain peaks like Mount Jefferson and Sawtell Peak overlook a network of seasonal water bodies and the winding Rrlw rail line near the continental divide.
