About this map

The western outskirts of Livingston and the high mountain passes of the Gallatin National Forest define this landscape in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Hoppers, situated along a critical transportation corridor where the railroad pierces the ridge via Tunnel Number 1. This area serves as a rugged gateway between the Gallatin and Yellowstone drainages, characterized by steep drainages like Fleshman Creek and Billman Creek.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Cokedale Cem along Cokedale Road, hinting at the area's industrial past. The terrain is marked by distinctively named peaks and passes, including Molar, Shoe Horn, and Rock Top Pass. Modern recreational and residential growth is evident in the network of trails and roads branching off Bozeman Hill Road, including Sky Band Trail and Rendezvous Trail, which lead toward the open expanses of Antelope Flats.
