2024 Map of Richards Creek

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Gallatin National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape along the Montana and Wyoming border. The terrain is defined by a series of major drainages, including the west-flowing Duck Creek, Grayling Creek, and Richards Creek, which feed toward the Madison Valley in the southwest corner. Transportation in this wilderness area is anchored by US Highway 191, which follows the path of Tepee Creek through the mountains. Local history and outdoor access are noted by features like the Fir Ridge Cem and several backcountry routes such as the Gneiss Creek Trl and Fir Ridge Trl. The map illustrates the convergence of federal lands, including the boundary between Gallatin and Park counties, while highlighting prominent landmarks such as Sandy Butte.
