2014 Map of Sacagawea Peak

About this map

Sacagawea Peak and the surrounding Bridger Range dominate this 2014 survey of north-central Gallatin County. High-altitude hydrology is a defining characteristic, with several alpine water bodies including Fairy Lake, Elf Lake, Ainger Lake, and Frazier Lake clustered near the summits. The settlement of Sedan serves as the primary landmark in the eastern flats, positioned near where the N Fork Flathead Cr and Flathead Cr emerge from the mountains. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Corbly Gulch, Limestone Canyon, and Dry Canyon, which reveal the complex topography of the Gallatin National Forest. Transportation through this steep landscape is limited to specific corridors like Flathead Pass Rd and Battle Ridge Pass, illustrating the geographic constraints on local travel during the early 21st century.
