About this map

Gallatin National Forest and the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness dominate this high-altitude landscape in Park County, where the hydrological divide of Middle Ridge separates complex drainage systems. The topography is defined by the steep ascent toward Iron Mountain and the secluded Hummingbird Basin, while the eastern boundary is carved by the Boulder River and its South Fork Boulder River.

Administrative boundaries for the Livingston Ranger District, Gardiner Ranger District, and Big Timber Ranger District converge here, reflecting the importance of Forest Service management in this high country at the turn of the millennium. The map details a network of alpine waters, from the high Elk Lake to the headwaters of Buffalo Creek and Bridge Creek, illustrating a primitive landscape where natural contours dictate the flow of the land.
