2014 Map of Mount Wallace

About this map

Mt Wallace and the high ridges of the Absaroka Range dominate this corner of the Gallatin National Forest in Park County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage networks and high-altitude basins, where numerous creeks including Wallace Creek and Grizzly Creek carve through the terrain. A notable geographic feature in the northwest is Passage Falls along Passage Creek, indicating the sharp elevation drops common to this wilderness area. The map illustrates a high-country environment largely untouched by development, focused instead on natural landmarks like Clover Basin, Silver Basin, and the Red Rock Plateau. These basins and plateaus, often sitting above 9,000 feet, represent the complex alpine topography of south-central Montana as it was documented in the early twenty-first century.
