2011 Map of Cave Mountain

About this map

Choteau Mountain and Cave Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in Teton County, where the Rocky Mountain Front meets the plains. The drainage network is complex, defined by the North Fork Teton River and its various tributaries including the Middle Fork North Fork Teton River and South Fork Teton River. Settlement in this region is characterized by isolated livestock operations such as Burfening Ranch, Lazy P Ranch, and Cow Track Ranch, situated along the lower river valleys. The presence of the Middle Fork Trailhead and roads like Teton Canyon Rd suggests a landscape used for both ranching and back-country access. In the northern reaches, Muddy Creek and Rinker Creek cut through the terrain near prominent landmarks like Antelope Butte and Mount Werner.
