About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates the southern half of this map, where the high terrain of Wheeler Mountain and the Langohr Divide rises above the Gallatin Valley. The landscape transition is marked by a complex system of water management, including the W Gallatin Canal, Middle Cr Association Ditch, and Mystic Lake Ditch, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the region.

Evidence of local ranching and aviation history is found at the Haggerty Airport and Tom Lay Prairie, while the northern section shows modern residential growth in areas like Happy Acres W. Deep in the canyons, landmarks such as Moser Lick and Langohr Springs provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historic use of Hyalite Canyon and Leverich Canyon. The network of creeks, including Bozeman Creek and Sourdough Creek, highlights the drainage patterns that have shaped both the wilderness and the development of the surrounding Gallatin County area.
