1987 Map of Saddle Peak

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this 1980s topography, anchored by the high ridgelines of the Bridger Range. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with prominent summits like Ross Peak and Saddle Peak overlooking a complex network of drainage basins. To the east, the Bridger Bowl Ski Area marks a significant recreational development on the mountain slopes, while the northern reaches provide public access through the Brackett Creek Campground. Numerous gulches and canyons, such as Limestone Canyon and Bostwick Canyon, carve through the terrain, feeding into water systems like Bridger Creek and Ross Creek. Smaller landmarks, including the Spring Hill Pavilion, suggest local gathering points amidst the timbered slopes and high alpine passes like Ross Pass. The map captures the area as a vital nexus of outdoor recreation and natural resource management in Gallatin County.
