About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, encompassing the high peaks of the Crazy Mountains. This high-altitude terrain in Park County is defined by steep drainages and prominent summits such as Ibex Mtn and Elk Mtn. The transition from the timbered national forest to the ranching lands of the west is marked by an extensive network of water management features and rural access roads.

Water is central to the area's utility, with historical irrigation features like Criswell Ditch and Big Ditch moving snowmelt across the benches. Numerous creek systems, including Basin Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Rock Cr, create a deeply etched topography. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented primarily by family-named roads and remote connectors like Robinson Bench Rd and Cottonwood Bench Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors and foothills.
