1986 Map of Ramshorn Peak

About this map

Gallatin National Forest high country defines this 1986 study of the Gallatin Range, where the boundary between Gallatin and Park Counties follows the drainage divides. The landscape is marked by prominent summits like Ramshorn Peak and Eaglehead Mountain, with high-altitude waters such as Ramshorn Lake and Lake Elsie situated in deep glacial cirques. The presence of the Petrified Forest and the Gallatin State Wildlife Management Area suggests a region dedicated to conservation and the preservation of geologic history. Connectivity across this high terrain is maintained primarily by the Pack Trail, which navigates through Buffalo Horn Pass and near the Buffalo Horn Lakes. These routes represent the traditional backcountry access points used by foresters and hunters throughout the late 20th century.
