About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Gallatin County, where complex hydrology and sharp topographic relief define the region. The area is anchored by prominent summits such as Sage Peak, Snowslide Mtn, and Monument Mtn, forming a series of drainages that feed into the Madison River watershed. The namesake Upper Tepee Basin and the lower Tepee Basin dominate the southeastern quadrant, carved out by Tepee Cr and its various forks.

A distinct pattern of land management is visible through the numerous numbered parcel boundaries, such as PB 43 and PB 55, which intersect the natural terrain. Notable landmarks like Ernest Miller Ridge and Redstreak Peak offer specific points of reference for those studying the physical geography of the Gallatin Range. The drainage systems of Bacon Rind Cr and Middle Fork Cabin Cr illustrate the intricate network of alpine streams that sustain this protected wilderness environment.
