2015 Map of Quadrant Mountain

About this map

Yellowstone National Park dominates this high-altitude terrain along the border of Wyoming and Montana. The landscape is defined by massive peaks including Quadrant Mountain and Bannock Peak to the southwest, while Sepulcher Mountain stands prominently in the northeast. This area represents a critical watershed where the Gardner River and its many tributaries, such as Fawn Creek and Panther Creek, carve through the mountainous topography. Significant trail systems including the Sportsman Lake Trail and Cache Lake Trail provide the primary means of navigating this remote wilderness, connecting landmarks like the basin known as Gardners Hole to the higher ridges. The survey illustrates the primitive transportation network used to access the backcountry of the nation's first national park in the early 21st century.
