2000 Map of Livingston Peak

About this map

The high peaks of the Absaroka Range dominate this landscape south of the Yellowstone River valley, as documented in this 2000 revision. Rising to prominent summits like Livingston Peak, Elephanthead Mountain, and Mount Delano, the area is defined by the intersection of the Gallatin National Forest and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The map reveals the administrative complexities of the Forest Service at the turn of the 21st century, showing the boundaries of the Livingston Ranger District and Beartooth Ranger District. While much of the terrain is accessible only by trail or drainage, Mission Creek Road provides a primary corridor into the mountain front. Sparse settlement is limited to the northern margins, notably at Triangle Ranch, while the interior remains a pristine network of basins and water bodies such as Blacktail Lake, West Baldy Basin, and East Baldy Basin.
