About this map

The Gallatin River carves a deep path through this landscape, marking the transition between the Gallatin National Forest and the northwestern edge of Yellowstone National Park. Along the river corridor, modern infrastructure follows historic transit patterns, evidenced by crossings such as the Almart Bridge and Sam Wilson Bridge, alongside the named Ruegemar Bridge and Tepee Creek Bridge to the east.

Upland features reflect a mix of recreational and industrial history, from the Walton Mine Rd near Burnt Top to the established Daly Creek Trail winding through the park boundary. The map identifies specific landmarks like the distinctive Pulpit Rock and River Ridge, while various drainages such as Buffalo Horn Cr and Snowflake Springs define the hydrography of this high-elevation region. Large meadows and flats, including Cow Flats and Monument Meadow, break the timbered slopes dominated by peaks like Grouse Mtn and Crown Butte.
