About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where a network of creek drainages and alpine lakes defines the wilderness character of the region. The terrain is characterized by significant vertical relief, with Lincoln Mtn standing as a prominent landmark and the Middle Basin providing a focal point for the eastern drainage systems. Water is a defining element of this Montana backcountry, seen in the clustered Lizard Lakes near the Madison County line and high-altitude water bodies like Albino Lake and Marble Lake.

Human activity is concentrated along the river corridors, particularly through the presence of the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch Airport located near Taylor Cr. Access to this remote area is primarily facilitated by Taylor Fork Rd, which follows the contours of the valley floor. The map also records the numerous mountain streams, such as Eldridge Cr and Wapiti Cr, which feed into the larger hydrological network of the Gallatin range.
