2014 Map of Richards Creek

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Gallatin National Forest converge on this high-altitude landscape along the border of Montana and Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain waterways, including Richards Cr, Gneiss Cr, and Campanula Cr, which flow through the forested eastern slopes. A significant cultural landmark, Fir Ridge Cem, sits near the junction of Gallatin Rd and Grayling Rd, marking a point of human history within the protected wilderness. The map details the transition from the relatively open ground near Sandy Butte to the high ridges of the interior. Transportation is limited to a few primary corridors like Hebgen Lake Rd and Cougar Creek Rd, which provide access to the remote backcountry of Gallatin County.
