About this map

Hebgen Lake Day Use Area sits at the southern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Hebgen Lake meet the mountain foothills at the turn of the 21st century. The terrain is defined by the high crest of Wapiti Ridge and the broad depressions of Carrot Basin and Little Basin, features that dictate the drainage patterns of Wapiti Creek and Cabin Creek. Administrative presence in the Gallatin National Forest is evidenced by the Beaver Creek Ranger Station and various communication sites.

A notable inclusion within the Earthquake Area is a record of resource exploration, specifically a dry oil well located near Donna Lake. This unsuccessful venture, alongside the presence of Potamogeton Park, reflects a wilderness area managed for both recreation and industry. High-altitude lakes such as Turquoise Lake, Meadow Lake, and Rose Lake are scattered across the interior, reachable only by the network of trails that circumvent Apex Point and Boat Mountain.
