2020 Map of The Needles
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Absaroka Range, where a complex network of peaks and drainages defines the wilderness. The terrain is anchored by prominent summits such as Boulder Mtn and The Needles, with the southern reaches marked by Crow Mtn and War Eagle Mtn. Water systems are central to the geography here, from the headwaters of the Boulder River in the southeast to the isolated Silver Lake and Bridge Lake. Transportation through these heights is limited to specialized routes like Hi-Ho Silver and the Meattrack trail, alongside Natl Forest Develop Road 6639 Rd. This map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, tracing numerous seasonal and perennial flows including Tuscarora Cr, Meattrack Cr, and Fourmile Cr as they carve through the mountain passes.
