About this map

Knowles Peak and the high ridges of the Absaroka Range dominate this landscape within the Gallatin National Forest. The map detail reveals an intricate drainage network defined by W Fork Mill Cr and E Fork Mill Cr, which cut through the high-elevation terrain near landmarks like Arrow Peak and Castle Rock.

Evidence of historical land use and early resource exploration is suggested by labels such as Bulldozer Cr and Arrastra Cr, the latter referencing a primitive device for crushing ore. The presence of Montanapolis Springs and the winding Mill Creek Rd indicate the limited but persistent human footprint in this mountainous region. This survey serves as a modern record of the area's physical geography, including notable summits like Green Mtn and various named tributaries like Sage Cr and Burnt Cr.
