2014 Map of The Sentinel

About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Gallatin Range in this modern topographical study. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where numerous waterways like Bark Cabin Cr and Cottonwood Cr flow from the central heights toward the Gallatin and Park County line. Distinctive peaks such as The Sentinel and The Bear provide vertical anchors for the map, while Windy Pass marks a significant gap in the southern reaches of the range. The presence of Crater Lake in the northeastern corner suggests the glacial and volcanic history that shaped this wilderness. This survey documents the network of streams and creeks, including Mist Cr, Smokey Cr, and Little Bear Cr, that sustain the high-mountain ecosystem within the federal forest boundaries.
