About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses the high-altitude landscape shown here, dominated by the peak of Mount Blackmore. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Cottonwood Creek, Big Bear Creek, and the uniquely named History Rock Creek. These waterways carve through the forest, creating prominent landmarks like Telephone Ridge and Timber Butte.

Remote and primarily accessible via a network of Pack Trail routes, the area shows little permanent development as of the late 1980s. A significant feature is Big Bear Lake, a small alpine body of water tucked below the high ridges. The map provides a detailed view of the high-country hydrology, tracing the headwaters of Swan Creek and the many gulches, such as Orchid Gulch, that feed into the larger creek systems of the Gallatin Range.
