About this map

Livingston Peak dominates the northern reaches of the Absaroka Range in this high-altitude landscape within the Gallatin National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and mountain summits, including Elephanthead Mtn and Shell Mtn. Land use is primarily focused on the wilderness character of the national forest, with road access limited to the northeast corner near Swingley Rd and Bruffey Rd.

A network of seasonal and perennial waters like Mission Cr and Suce Cr carve through the deep basins. Of particular interest to those studying the hydrology of the range is Blacktail Lake, situated at the head of Blacktail Cr. High basins such as West Baldy Basin and East Baldy Basin showcase the dramatic vertical relief between the peaks and the creek bottoms that feed into the larger regional watersheds.
