2020 Map of The Sentinel

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Gallatin and Park Counties. The geography is defined by the Gallatin Range and the high ridge of the Gallatin Crest, which serves as a natural divide for numerous drainage systems. Significant landmarks include the prominent peak of The Sentinel and the distinct formation known as The Bear to the southeast. The area is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Mist Creek, Cliff Creek, and the headwaters of Big Creek. Human presence is minimal, centered on mountain access points like Windy Pass, where the Windy Pass Cabin provides a remote outpost. The presence of named locations such as Bark Cabin suggests long-standing forest management and recreational use within this protected wilderness area.
