2014 Map of Jack Straw Basin

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Gallatin National Forest converge at the boundary of Montana and Wyoming on this 2014 survey. The terrain is defined by high-elevation landforms including the Madison Plateau and the Moose Creek Plateau, which overlook deep drainage features such as Echo Canyon and Meadow Canyon. The namesake Jack Straw Basin sits in the northern section of the map, while small water bodies like Big Bear Lake and Frog Pond punctuate the landscape. This map serves as a detailed record of the interstate boundary line where Gallatin and Teton Counties meet. The absence of significant roads or settlements highlights the wilderness character of this region, providing a clean data set for studying the natural geography and park boundaries of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
