2017 Map of Wallrock

About this map

Wallrock is situated at the intersection of a complex drainage network where the Gallatin National Forest meets the open range of the high country. This landscape is defined by the branching waters of Muddy Cr, including its north, middle, and south forks, which carve through the terrain beneath Elkhorn Ridge. The area reflects a history of small-scale mountain navigation and rural land use, evidenced by the named gullies and basins that provided natural corridors for travel. Landmarks like Wallrock Basin and Coal Gulch suggest early exploration and the identification of local resources. A network of rural routes, including Big Muddy Creek Rd and Keister Hardy Rd, connects the scattered homesteads and ranches that follow the watercourses through the divide between Gallatin and Park counties.
