2014 Map of Ear Mountain

About this map

Ear Mtn stands as a prominent landmark within the high terrain of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, where steep drainages and isolated peaks define the Teton County landscape. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Riordon Gulch, Bear Gulch, and Slim Gulch, which channel water toward major tributaries. The northern boundary is marked by the S Fork Teton River, while the central and southern reaches are drained by various forks of Willow Creek and Deep Creek, such as N Fork Willow Cr and N Fork Deep Cr. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited to peripheral access points like S Fork Rd and Meltwater Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the natural barriers and drainage patterns, including features like Wind Mtn and Chute Mtn, which have likely influenced land use and accessibility in this part of Montana for generations.
