1940 Map of Mt Wallace

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Gallatin National Forest and the northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park converge in this high-altitude survey of Park County. The landscape is defined by massive drainages and peaks, including Mt Wallace and Iron Mountain, which separate a series of high mountain basins like Silver Basin and Clover Basin. The map captures the infrastructure of early forest management, highlighting the Hellroaring Ranger Station, the Buffalo Fork Ranger Station, and the isolated Bull Moose Cabin tucked near the Middle Fork of Hellroaring Creek. Water is the dominant feature of the terrain, with Carpenter Lake and Elk Lake feeding complex systems of creeks such as Colley Creek and the Boulder River. This 1940 edition preserves the placement of primitive trails and remote outposts before modern backcountry management shifts altered the footprint of these protected wilderness areas.
