About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Gallatin River carves through the dramatic topography of Gallatin Canyon. The map documents a sophisticated network of mountain infrastructure, specifically highlighting a series of named crossings such as the Gallatin Golden Gate Bridge and the Moose Creek Flats Bridge. These landmarks, along with the Jack Smith Bridge and Anceney Bridge, illustrate the critical engineering required to navigate the waterway and its various tributaries like Portal Creek and Swan Creek.

Elevation extremes are marked by Table Mtn and Levinski Ridge, while the eastern portion of the survey reveals the secluded Hidden Lakes and Hidden Creek. Near the southern boundary, the growing community of Big Sky is visible, situated where the terrain begins to transition toward the high ridgelines. The presence of Lava Lake in the northwest corner and numerous named drainages like Tamphery Creek and Asbestos Creek provides a detailed look at the local watershed and trail access points used by generations of outdoorsmen.
