About this map

Gallatin National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Madison and Gallatin County line. The map centers on the dramatic drainages and ridgelines that feed the S Fork W Fork Gallatin River, including its namesake Ousel Falls. A network of forest access and residential roads such as Towering Pines Rd and Michener Creek Rd weave through the northeastern quadrant, contrasting with the wilderness to the south and west.

The high country is defined by prominent landmarks like Cinnamon Mtn and the Cinnamon Lookout, providing a clear view of the complex topography including Blow Out and Cinnamon Buck. Toward the southwest, Lizard Lakes sits near the Inspiration Divide, marking a transition into more isolated terrain. The presence of the Ousel Falls Airport near the river valley indicates the modern accessibility of this otherwise steep mountain environment.
