About this map

The Pyramid stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Park County, Montana, situated within the Gallatin National Forest. This mapping revision from the year 2000 documents the complex drainage systems and protected lands of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The area is defined by its dramatic water features, including Elbow Lake and Crystal Lake, which feed a network of waterways such as Mill Creek and its East Fork.

Evidence of the region's hydrography is found in the scattered sources like Agate Springs and the convergence of high-country streams including Elbow Creek and Coffey Creek. The map reflects the strict management boundaries of the era, noting the Big Timber Livingston District and the Wilderness Boundary, providing a clear picture of the administrative and natural geography of the Absaroka Range at the opening of the 21st century.
