About this map

Ear Mountain dominates this portion of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, rising above a complex network of drainages that define the eastern edge of the Front Range. The landscape is carved by steep erosional features such as Rierdon Gulch, Bear Gulch, and Green Gulch, which all feed into the larger hydrological systems of the S Fork Teton River and S Fork Willow Cr.

The presence of high-elevation landmarks like Wind Mtn, Chute Mtn, and Crab Butte illustrates the dramatic verticality of the terrain. While mostly wilderness, the map indicates early 21st-century access points via S Fork Rd and Salmond Rd, providing a detailed view of the water sources including Kings Cr and N Fork Deep Cr that have long sustained the local ecosystem and downstream ranching operations.
