About this map

Yellowstone National Park and the Gallatin National Forest converge in this high-elevation corner of the Madison Valley along the Montana and Wyoming border. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage systems, including Grayling Creek, Duck Creek, and Gneiss Creek, which flow through the forested terrain. Evidence of human presence is sparse but specific, marked by the presence of a Pack Trail and a Gravel Pit near the western edge. Notable for local history, a small Cem is situated near the confluence of the larger streams, suggesting early valley settlement or traveler landmarks before this area became part of the protected park and forest systems. This 1980s field-checked survey highlights the transition from the valley floor to the prominent slopes of Sandy Butte.
