About this map

Nine Quarter Circle Ranch stands as a notable human footprint in this high-elevation wilderness, situated along the drainage of Taylor Creek. The map documents a landscape defined by the intersection of the Gallatin National Forest and the Gallatin State Wildlife Management Area, also labeled as the Gswma. A remote Landing Strip near the ranch indicates the difficulty of overland access to this section of the Madison Range near the Madison and Gallatin County line.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous high-altitude basins holding Lizard Lakes, Albino Lake, and Marble Lake. The drainage network is intricately mapped, showing the headwaters of the Taylor Fork and the winding paths of Eldridge Creek and Wapiti Creek. This revision reflects the primitive road and trail infrastructure maintained by the Forest Service at the end of the 20th century.
