About this map

The Absaroka Range dominates this portion of the Gallatin National Forest, defining a high-elevation landscape where the West Boulder Plateau serves as a central geographic feature. This 2014 survey captures the complex drainage systems of the region, including the headwaters of the W Boulder River and its numerous tributaries such as Fourmile Cr and the descriptively named Froze-to-Death Cr.

High-altitude water bodies like Kaufman Lake and W Boulder Lake sit at the base of peaks like Boulder Mtn, providing clear reference points for navigation through this roadless terrain. The presence of numerous surveyed protracted blocks, including PB 37 and PB 45, illustrates the ongoing management of these federal lands. The map traces the intricate paths of Great Falls Cr and W Chippy Cr as they descend from the plateau, reflecting a landscape shaped by seasonal snowmelt and glacial history.
