2020 Map of Koch Peak

About this map

Koch Peak Taylor Peaks and Nutters Cathedral Peak dominate the high-elevation terrain of the Madison Range, where the boundaries of the Beaverhead National Forest and Gallatin National Forest converge. This mountain landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring prominent ridgelines like Sawtooth Ridge, No Man Ridge, and Tunnel Ridge. The hydrology of the area is characterized by steep drainages and alpine basins, including Tumble Basin and the headwaters of Taylor Cr, where Taylor Falls is located. Small alpine water bodies such as No Man Lake, Snake Lake, and the Lizard Lakes are scattered among the peaks. The map also documents the Inspiration Divide and Cache Taylor Divide, highlighting the complex watershed patterns that feed into Indian Cr and Lightning Creek.
