About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where sharp drainage basins and prominent ridgelines define the terrain. The northern reaches are shaped by the flow of Big Bear Creek and the small basin of Big Bear Lake, while to the east, the peaks of Kinor Peak and Mt Blackmore stand as major topographic landmarks. This area is heavily defined by its recreational and forest access network, featuring established paths such as the History Rock Trl and the Storm Castle Ridge Trl.

A sophisticated network of water systems, including South Cottonwood Creek and Swan Creek, carves through the gulches. Significant peaks like Alex Lowe Peak and Amber Butte provide specific points of interest for those studying the high-country geography of Gallatin County. The map also documents forest infrastructure like Pine Tree Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 980, which facilitate movement across Telephone Ridge and through Wheeler Gulch.
