2014 Map of Hummingbird Peak

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Gallatin National Forest meet in this high-elevation mountain landscape, which captures the boundary between Wyoming and Montana. The terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Absaroka Range, including the prominent Hummingbird Peak and Buffalo Butte. A network of glacial basins such as Hummingbird Basin, East Fork Basin, Elk Creek Basin, and Telephone Basin structure the drainage of the region. Notable water features include Hidden Lake and the headwaters of several drainages like E Fork-Hellroaring Cr, Elk Cr, Buffalo Cr, and Grassy Cr. The lack of developed infrastructure underscores the wilderness character of this area at the southern edge of the Gallatin National Forest, where it transitions into the northern reaches of the world's first national park.
