About this map

Mount Jackson and the surrounding high country of Yellowstone National Park dominate this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and water systems, with the Madison River winding through the southern portion of the sheet. Evidence of park infrastructure and management is visible at the Cougar Creek Patrol Cabin, while the Riverside Dr and the Madison Range Overlook provide points of access for visitors to observe the geological formations.

The hydrologic network includes Cougar Cr and Maple Cr flowing across the northern reaches, feeding into the larger drainage systems. Landmarks such as Mount Haynes, Madison Canyon, and the Three Brothers Mountains illustrate the complex mountain geography. The presence of Harlequin Lake near the river bend provides a localized study of the high-altitude wetlands preserved within this protected wilderness area.
