About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Gallatin National Forest converge in this high-elevation mountain terrain at the Montana-Wyoming border. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where headwaters like E Fork Specimen Cr and N Fork Fan Cr flow through deeply incised valleys. Significant alpine water bodies, including Sportsman Lake and High Lake, occupy glacial basins below prominent summits such as Shooting Star Mtn and Sawtooth Mtn.

Evidence of early land management and transit is visible through features like the Lion Ditch and the Shooting Star Trl, which navigates the steep grades of the Cinnabar Basin. The boundary between Park Co Montana and Park Co Wyoming bisects the southern reaches of the map, illustrating the remote backcountry where these two states meet within the protected wilderness of the national forest and park systems.
