About this map

Mount Wallace stands as the high point of this high-elevation landscape within the Gallatin National Forest. The 1987 survey details a primitive backcountry environment where the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness encompasses much of the territory, defined by dramatic drainage basins and glacial features. Distinctive geography like The Hole and the Red Rock Plateau are etched into the terrain, while the solitary Bull Moose Cabin represents one of the few human structural markers in the area.

A network of hydrology defines the movement across the land, with Passage Falls marking a significant point on Passage Creek. The map documents numerous alpine drainages including Clover Basin, North Fork Basin, and Silver Basin, which feed into major waterways like Hellroaring Creek. For those studying the wilderness as it was in the late 1980s, the inclusion of a Pack Trail and Footbridge indicates the primary means of navigation through these remote mountain reaches.
