About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which spans the high country between Meagher and Park counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Scab Rock Mtn, Bear Mtn, and Goat Mtn, falling away into deep drainages like Bear Gulch. To the southeast, the map captures the western edge of the Crazy Mountains, a distinctive island range known for its dramatic relief.

Water management and transportation are concentrated in the lower elevations, where the Shields River flows south. Man-made features such as the Horse Camp Ditch indicate the diversion of alpine water for agricultural use in the valleys below. A network of forest roads, including Smith Creek RD and Shields River RD, provides access through the timbered slopes and ridges like Woodchuck Ridge, tracing the routes used by ranchers and foresters throughout the early twenty-first century.
