About this map

US Highway 191 follows the winding path of the Gallatin River through this high-altitude landscape, where the northwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park meets the Gallatin National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, including Sunshine Point, Grouse Mtn, and the distinctive Pulpit Rock. Several river crossings, such as Almart Bridge, Sam Wilson Bridge, and Ruegemar Bridge, facilitate access along the valley floor.

Evidence of varied land use appears in the backcountry, from the high Monument Meadow and the thermal-suggestive Snowflake Springs to the industrial presence of an Oil Well and the Walton Mine Rd. Extensive drainage networks like Teepee Creek, Sage Creek, and Slide Creek carve through the mountain ridges, while the Daly Creek Trail provides a documented route into the national park's interior. This map records the modern infrastructure supporting recreation and resource management in this mountainous Montana corridor.
