About this map

Ear Mountain and the surrounding high country of Teton County define this landscape, where the headwaters of numerous drainages begin their descent toward the plains. The northern edge of the sheet is marked by the South Fork Teton River, which flows near Gleason Resort, a lone settlement node in an area otherwise characterized by named gulches and peaks. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the branching networks of North Fork Willow Creek, South Fork Willow Creek, and Little Deep Creek.

Landmarks like Wind Mountain, Chute Mountain, and the Bearing Tree serve as essential reference points for navigating this complex terrain. The map records several named ravines, including Rierdon Gulch, Bear Gulch, and Sheep Gulch, which indicate a long history of local naming conventions tied to the area's geography. Waterways such as Billie Creek, Edwards Creek, and North Fork Deep Creek create a dense hydrologic web across the foothills of the Front Range.
