About this map

Mt Wallace and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of the Absaroka Range dominate this landscape within the Gallatin National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of glacial cirques and drainage basins, including Clover Basin, Silver Basin, and the North Fork Basin, which feed the headwaters of numerous mountain streams. This topography is defined by significant landmarks like the Red Rock Plateau and the secluded area known as The Hole.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the cascade at Passage Falls to the high-country waters of Colley Lake. Seasonal and perennial flows such as Grizzly Cr, Hellroaring Cr, and Wallace Cr carve through the steep terrain, joined by specialized routes like the Grizzly Creek Cutoff. Historically significant paths, including Wallace Pass and the Dutch Rd, provide the primary access through this wilderness area of Park County.
