2000 Map of Richards Creek

About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Gallatin National Forest meet in this survey along the border of Montana and Wyoming. The landscape is defined by the high drainage systems of Grayling Creek and Richards Creek, which flow through the rugged terrain of the Madison Valley. While much of the area is protected wilderness, the map documents specific points of human activity and utility, including a Gravel Pit and a solitary Cem located near the confluence of local streams. Distinctive topographical landmarks such as Sandy Butte stand out against the network of waterways like Gneiss Creek and Cougar Creek. The boundary lines for the Hebgen Lake Ranger District and several county lines delineate the administrative management of this high-country ecosystem during the transition into the new millennium.
