2014 Map of Mount Douglas

About this map

Mt Douglas and the high alpine terrain of the Beartooth Range dominate this 2014 survey, which spans the boundary of Park and Sweet Grass Counties. The landscape is a high-altitude wilderness divided between the Gallatin National Forest and Custer National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of glacial features, from the broad Breakneck Plateau and East Boulder Plateau to the sharp summits of Hawley Mtn and Snowy Peak. Water is a defining element of this high country, where the Boulder River and its F Fork drain a series of isolated basins containing Emerald Lake, Mirror Lake, and Trout Lake. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the protected nature of this region, which remains a stronghold for pristine hydrology and high-peak topography.
