$44.00
This USGS 15-minute quadrangle, a 1951 edition printed in 1978, depicts the Bozeman Pass area straddling Gallatin and Park counties in south-central Montana, and the physical sheet from that 1978 printing remains in very good condition. The quad takes in terrain east of Bozeman along the pass corridor through the Absaroka-Beartooth foothills, with portions of Gallatin National Forest and the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area represented within the sheet. Researchers and outdoor enthusiasts interested in mid-century documentation of this mountain gateway between the Gallatin Valley and the Yellowstone corridor will find it a useful reference.
