About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which is defined by the high elevations of the Gallatin Range during the late 1980s. A significant human imprint on this wilderness is the Windy Pass Forest Service Station, located near the southern boundary where the terrain ascends toward Windy Pass. The map serves as a detailed record of the complex drainage networks of the region, specifically the headwaters and tributaries of Swan Creek and Cottonwood Creek.

Strategic landmarks such as The Sentinel provide clear points of orientation for those navigating the high country. The convergence of numerous named waterways, including Bark Cabin Creek and Mist Creek, illustrates the hydrological importance of this high-altitude terrain. The boundary between Gallatin and Park counties is also clearly delineated, crossing through the eastern portions of the map near Crater Lake.
