2017 Map of Mount Ellis

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this landscape southeast of Bozeman, where the high peaks of the Gallatin Range meet deep drainages and canyon roads. The terrain is defined by prominent summits like Mt Ellis and Chestnut Mtn, which frame a network of creeks including Bozeman Cr and Hyalite Cr. This modern survey details the interface between growing residential developments on the northwestern edge, marked by Triple Tree Ln, and the protected wilderness areas to the south and east. A significant portion of the map covers the watershed surrounding Mystic Lake, accessible via the Bozeman Creek Rd and Sourdough Canyon Rd. For those tracing recreational or land-use history, the map provides exact alignments for the Triple Tree Trail and the Moonshine Gulch Trail #438, illustrating how local paths weave through features like New World Gulch and Bear Canyon.
