There is a Gooseberry Peak in eastern Idaho but it's nowhere near Gooseberry Park, MT. All USGS website topo maps have Gooseberry Park Quadrangle as the title of the map. It is quite likely the database/metadata compiler for the Yellow Maps website got it wrong but didn't catch the error. It seems practical to tell the Yellow Maps website managers that there is an error that needs to be fixed - because the map itself shows "Park" and should be corrected.  USGS has all of their Gooseberry Park Quadrangles properly labeled.

In MT there is a Gooseberry Peak or Gooseberry Park
1:24,000 topo.  I think the official name is Gooseberry Peak, yet there is no Gooseberry Peak on the map.  There is a Gooseberry Park on the map (at the bottom).

Anybody know why they would change the name to Gooseberry Peak when logically it doesn't make much sense to do that?

To see the map go to:
