About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses the high country of Park County in this 2011 survey, centered on the prominent Scab Rock Mountain and Bear Mountain. The hydrology of the region is defined by the Shields River, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle alongside its tributaries, including Kavanaugh Creek and Porcupine Creek. Water management for local ranching or conservation is evident through several named infrastructure points, such as Anderson Dam and Westling Dam near the headwaters of Meadow Creek.

To the north, the terrain rises toward Sixteenmile Creek and the western edges of the Crazy Mountains, while rugged peaks like Goat Mountain and Billie Mtn dominate the central landscape. Primitive access is recorded via several named routes like Smith Creek Rd and Shields River Rd, reflecting the remote character of this mountain environment where historic land use is marked by features like the Horse Camp Ditch.
