By 1898 a 10-foot wide road was built through Gallatin Canyon to Taylors Fork and the park line. In 1911 a crude, narrow wagon road went to West Yellowstone, 90 miles from the county seat at Bozeman, and in 1926 the road was graveled. West Yellowstone began with the coming of the railroad in 1908. The area includes Hebgen Lake and dam, Quake Lake, and the Madison River Earthquake Visitor's Center at the site of the August 17, 1959 mountain slide. Near here, the Grayling Post Office served from 1898 to 1951. Missouri Flats in Madison County was homesteaded by people from Missouri in 1911. Still standing in the ghost town of Cliff Lake in Madison County in 2002 were the school, teacherage, store, and post office. The Fir Ridge Cemetery overlooks Hebgen Lake.
