About this map

Livingston Peak dominates this high-elevation landscape in Montana’s Park County, serving as a central point for a complex network of drainage basins and mountain ridges. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like West Baldy Basin and East Baldy Basin, with water shed through numerous mountain streams including Suce Creek and North Fork Deep Creek. Human activity is concentrated in the northeast along the valley of Mission Creek, where ranching operations are established near the base of the mountains.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the naming of cattle and horse ranching sites such as Sixtythree Ranch and Triangle Ranch. These settlements are reached via Bruffey Rd, which follows the contours of the Mission Creek valley. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely wilderness, rising toward Elephanthead Mountain and Mount Delano, where drainage systems like Davis Creek and Basin Creek carve through the high country.
