About this map

Mount Wallace towers over this section of the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, a landscape defined by sharp drainage basins and high plateaus. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the convergence of Clover Creek and Wallace Creek as they cut through the Gallatin National Forest. The map captures the remote character of southern Montana before the turn of the 21st century, where the only sign of habitation is the isolated Bull Moose Cabin near the eastern boundary.

Water features dominate the survey, from the Passage Falls in the northwest to the complex network of Hellroaring Creek in the southeast. Distinctive terrain features like The Hole and the Red Rock Plateau are clearly delineated, providing an essential resource for understanding the geological layout of this high-altitude wilderness. This revision, based on imagery from the late 1990s, documents the permanent wilderness boundaries and the vast drainage systems of Colley Creek and Grizzly Creek.
