Abstract: Multiple deep passes crossing the present-day east-west continental divide and numerous south-oriented tributaries flowing to the present-day north-oriented Gallatin, Madison, Jefferson-Beaverhead-Red Rock, and Missouri Rivers provide evidence the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson-Beaverhead-Red Rock valleys originated as diverging channels in a large-scale south-oriented anastomosing channel complex that was subsequently reversed to form the present-day north-oriented Gallatin, […]

Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins between the Madison River and Gallatin River in the northwest Yellowstone National Park region, Montana and Wyoming. The northwest Yellowstone National Park region as defined here includes the Yellowstone National Park northwest corner and the region west to the north-northwest oriented Madison River valley. […]
Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins between the Madison River and Gallatin River in the middle Madison Range area located in Madison and Gallatin Counties, Montana. The Madison River flows in north direction from near the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park on the west side of the Madison Range […]
Abstract: This essay uses topographic map evidence to interpret landform origins between the Madison River and Gallatin River in the northern Madison Range and south of Three Forks in Madison and Gallatin Counties, Montana. The Madison River flows in north direction from Ennis Lake through Bear Trap Canyon on the west side of the Madison […]
Abstract: The Gallatin River-Yellowstone River drainage divide area in the northern Gallatin Range discussed here is located in south central Montana a short distance north of Yellowstone National Park and this essay interprets landform origins using topographic map evidence. The Gallatin Range is located between the north-northwest and north oriented Gallatin River to the west […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine erosional landform origins in the Shields River drainage divide area located in Gallatin and Park Counties, Montana. The Shields River is a south-southeast oriented tributary to the east and northeast oriented Yellowstone River and flows in a broad valley east of the Bridger Range and west […]
Abstract: Topographic map interpretation methods are used to determine landform origins in the Sixteenmile Creek-Gallatin River drainage divide area located in Gallatin County, Montana. Sixteenmile Creek is a southwest, northwest, and west oriented stream flowing between the Big Belt Mountains to the north and the Bridger Range to the south and flows to the north-oriented […]
