About this map

Three Rivers Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation wilderness in Park County, where the headwaters of several significant drainages originate. This area marks a critical hydrologic divide, evidenced by the convergence of various water systems. The northern reaches are defined by Gallatin Lake and the nascent Gallatin River, which flows near Bighorn Pass.

To the west and south, the terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal and perennial streams including Grayling Cr, Gneiss Cr, and Maple Cr. The landscape is characterized by prominent geologic formations such as Crowfoot Ridge, The Crags, and Echo Peak. This survey provides a record of these natural features within their protected backcountry context, documenting the intricate drainage patterns that define the mountain environment.
