2000 Map of Kelly Creek

About this map

Bridger Range peaks and the eastern edge of Bozeman meet in this 2000 revision, illustrating the expansion of the corporate boundary toward the foothills of Gallatin National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the East Gallatin River valley floor to the steep drainages of Sypes Canyon and Kelly Canyon Creek. In the southern reaches of the map, the industrial and educational history of the area is visible near the settlement of Chestnut, where a Mine and the Mount Ellis Academy sit near the winding path of Rocky Canyon Creek. Further north, the US Fish Culture Development Center and Drinking Horse Mountain highlight the intersection of federal resource management and local topography that characterizes the outskirts of Gallatin County.
