About this map

Hebgen Lake dominates this mountain landscape, its waters filling the Grayling Arm and constricting at The Narrows. The complex shoreline includes the prominent Horse Butte Peninsula and Edwards Peninsula, framing the northern edge of the Madison Valley. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Mount Hebgen and Kirkwood Ridge, where the Cabin Creek Wildlife Management Area and Gallatin National Forest manage the high timberlands.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident along the lake's edge, where a Marina, Campground, and Rainbow Point facilities serve visitors. Numerous small drainages like Red Canyon Creek and Coal Canyon Creek feed the basin from the north. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Lookout tower reflects the mixed-use nature of this territory in the mid-1980s, balancing resource extraction with wilderness preservation.
