2000 Map of Jack Straw Basin

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Gallatin National Forest meet in this high-altitude borderland, where the state line between Montana and Wyoming follows a complex physical and political geography. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and expansive heights, including the Moose Creek Plateau and the prominent Jack Straw Basin. A notable human outpost is the South Riverside Cabin, situated near a spring along the winding path of Echo Canyon. This survey captures the intricate boundary system where Gallatin County and Teton County converge, showing the network of canyons such as Meadow Canyon and Black Bear Canyon that carve through the high country. Small alpine water features like Big Bear Lake and Frog Pond punctuate the high-elevation terrain near Rocky Draw, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the headwaters region before modern development.
