About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of Gallatin and Park counties. This 1980s provisional study documents a high-elevation environment defined by steep drainage systems and narrow ridges. The area is anchored by the Forest Service Station near the center of the sheet, serving as a remote outpost within the federally managed timberland.

Hydrological features are particularly dense, from the waters of Swan Creek in the north to the southern flow of Donahue Creek. Notable landmarks include the prominent Cliff and the high Cooper Bench, providing specific navigational points for those tracing historical land use or forestry management. The presence of Sunny Brook Spring and the Horseshoe Basin highlights the complex topography that dictated movement through this part of the northern Rockies during the late twentieth century.
