2000 Map of Roundhead Butte

About this map

Frenchy's Grave Historic Site sits as a quiet historical marker within the high backcountry where the Gallatin National Forest meets the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness. This landscape is defined by the drainage of Slough Creek, which flows south toward Yellowstone National Park, passing the Slough Creek Ranger Station and the isolated Silver Tip Ranch. The terrain rises sharply from Frenchy Meadow to prominent heights like Lookout Mountain and Roundhead Butte. The presence of the Slough Creek Trail indicates the primary corridor for movement through these mountain gaps, connecting the Gardiner Ranger District with the wilderness interior. The map also records the Montana Wyoming Indefinite Boundary, illustrating the complex surveying of this high-altitude borderland where names like Wolverine Creek and Tucker Creek mark the rugged hydrology of the Yellowstone frontier.
