About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Park County, where the peaks of the Absaroka Range define the hydrology of the region. The map highlights a complex network of alpine water systems, including the West Boulder River and its numerous tributaries such as Davis Cr and Lost Cr. This area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, where high points like Mt Rae and Mt Greeley overlook glaciated features such as the Ellis Basin and West Boulder Meadows.

The surveying detail identifies several remote water bodies, from Horseshoe Lake in the north to the Nurses Lakes and Lost Lakes further south. These features, along with the West Boulder Divide, provide essential reference points for understanding the drainage patterns and historical backcountry access routes. Road labels such as Swingley Rd and Mission Meadow Rd trace the limited human infrastructure reaching into this wilderness terrain.
