About this map

Bozeman expands eastward toward the formidable Bridger Range in this late-1980s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the East Gallatin River valley floor to the high peaks of the Gallatin National Forest. Prominent landmarks such as Drinking Horse Mountain and Mount Ellis anchor the central terrain, while the residential and educational footprint is marked by the Mount Ellis Academy and La Motte Sch.

Evidence of the area's infrastructure is visible through several utility corridors, including a Pipeline and multiple Trans Lines that cut through the canyons. Notable local features include a Historical Marker near the river and a Mine situated in the southern foothills near Chestnut. The map provides a detailed view of the water system, from the major Kelly Creek and Bridger Creek to smaller drainages like Beasley Creek and Moffit Canyon Creek.
