2014 Map of Miner

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the Upper Yellowstone, where the Yellowstone River cuts through the narrow passage of Yankee Jim Canyon. The map documents a corridor defined by early transportation and rugged geography, notably the path of the Old Yellowstone Trl S which parallels the river. Small settlements like Carbella, Miner, and Sphinx sit on the eastern edge of the forest, providing access points to the high country. Landforms such as Tom Miner Basin and Crystal Cross Mtn illustrate the complex drainages of Tom Miner Cr and Rock Cr. To the south, isolated landmarks like Mans Foot Mtn and Black Mtn overlook Quaking Ash Hollow, marking the transition into higher elevations.
