2024 Map of Knowles Peak

About this map

Knowles Peak and Arrow Peak dominate the high-altitude terrain within this section of the Absaroka Range, situated where the Gallatin National Forest meets the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage system feeding into Mill Creek, including West Fork Mill Creek and East Fork Mill Creek. This area illustrates the management of montane water resources, evidenced by the Mill Creek Flat Ditch and numerous named tributaries like Counts Creek and Davis Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the trail networks that facilitate movement through these remote heights, such as the Elbow Lake Trl and Wallace Pass Trl. Specific alpine sites like Upper Snowbank and Wet Snow hint at the seasonal environmental conditions that govern this wilderness area, while markers like Clarks identify localized named points of interest.
