1993 Map of Hebgen Lake

About this map

West Yellowstone serves as the eastern gateway on this late-twentieth-century study of the high-country borderlands between Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. The landscape is defined by massive water bodies and high peaks, notably Hebgen Lake with its Grayling Arm and Madison Arm. Nearby, Earthquake Lake marks the path of the Madison River, a reminder of the region's active seismic history. To the west, the Centennial Valley hosts the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, protecting the wetlands around Lower Red Rock Lake and the small settlement of Lakeview. This map effectively traces the convergence of several major federal lands, including the Gallatin National Forest, Targhee National Forest, and the edge of Yellowstone National Park, illustrating how recreation and conservation have shaped the local geography near the Yellowstone Airport.
