1988 Map of Hidden Lake

About this map

The Gallatin River carves through a narrow canyon in this 1980s mountain survey, serving as a primary corridor for travel and settlement. Located within the Gallatin National Forest, the map illustrates a landscape defined by its protected status and topographical complexity, including portions of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness and the Gallatin State Wildlife Management Area. Human presence is concentrated near the river, where the Karat Ranch and crossings like Jack Smith Bridge and Highs Bridge provide rare landmarks in the high-elevation terrain.
