About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-altitude terrain at the turn of the 21st century, defined by a complex drainage system that feeds the surrounding valleys. The landscape is punctuated by prominent summits including Eaglehead Mountain, Steamboat Mountain, and Ramshorn Peak, which gives the quadrangle its name. This area serves as a critical habitat corridor, encompassing the Gallatin State Wildlife Management Area and various ranger districts including Bozeman and Livingston.

Tracing the historical extraction and transit routes reveals the Tom Miner Mine located near Miner Basin, connected by the Tom Miner Trail. Notable water bodies such as Lake Elsie and the Buffalo Horn Lakes are found near Buffalo Horn Pass, suggesting a geography shaped by traditional backcountry access and early resource exploration. The map detail highlights the meeting of Gallatin and Park counties along the high ridges of the Bridger and Gallatin ranges.
