About this map

The community of West Yellowstone serves as a critical gateway at the dawn of the 21st century, positioned exactly where the Madison Valley meets the high plateau. This map illustrates the intersection of public land management and mountain tourism, marking the West Entrance Yellowstone National Park alongside the Park Service Ranger Station. The landscape is dominated by the wide Madison River as it flows toward Hebgen Lake, a region defined by recreational access and wilderness infrastructure.

Evidence of modern regional coordination is visible through the Heliport Interagency Aerial Fire Control Center and the Yellowstone Airport. For those tracing winter recreation history, the sheet documents a network of paths including the Two Top Snowmobile Trail and a general Snowmobile Trail. These features, combined with the presence of the Gallatin National Forest and Yellowstone National Park, highlight the complex boundary management between Montana and Wyoming.
