2024 Map of Kelly Creek

About this map

Bozeman expands eastward toward the rugged slopes of the Bridger Range in this contemporary Montana topography. The map illustrates a landscape where urban residential development meets the steep edges of the Gallatin National Forest, with family-named routes like Story Hill Rd and Simmons Ln navigating the rising elevations. This area serves as a critical hydrological and research hub, anchored by the Bozeman Fish Technology Center located at the mouth of Bridger Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Interstate corridor follows the path of the East Gallatin River, passing through Moffit Canyon toward the old mining settlement of Chestnut. Local peaks such as Drinking Horse Mtn and Chestnut Mtn stand as prominent landmarks, while the Bridger Ridge Trl traces the high country, marking the boundary between the expanding valley floor and the protected forest interior.
