About this map

Chestnut and Kelly Canyon anchor this landscape where the high peaks of the Bridger Range meet the valley floor east of Bozeman. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical relief, rising from the East Gallatin River toward prominent landmarks like Mount Baldy and Drinking Horse Mountain. The mapping captures a network of canyon roads and drainage systems, including Kelly Creek and Rocky Creek, which have historically dictated the passage of travel and settlement in this part of Gallatin County.

Local infrastructure and landmarks are well-documented, from the Bozeman Beacon to the Fort Ellis Fire Service Area. Recreation and geography intersect at sites like the M Picnic Area and Flaming Arrow Rock, while the southern corridor follows the path of the Interstate and frontage roads through Moffit Canyon. This 2011 survey reflects the modern configuration of rural residential roads and access points into the surrounding National Forest lands.
