Description

Steamboat Mountain is located 33 miles (53 km) south of Bozeman in the Gallatin National Forest and the Hyalite Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area.^[1] The peak is part of the Gallatin Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.^[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains west to Rock Creek and east to Tom Miner Creek which are both tributaries of the Yellowstone River.

The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1918 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.^[3]
