2020 Map of Enos Mountain

About this map

Gallatin National Forest and Custer National Forest coverage dominates this Montana landscape, where the high peaks of the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness region meet a network of early water management systems. Named summits like Enos Mtn, Boone Mtn, and Morning Star Peak define the high country, while the drainage of the E Boulder River is diverted through a series of historic irrigation channels including Miles Flower Ditch, Woolsey Ditch, and Craft Ditch. These ditches imply the ranching and agricultural heritage of the lower elevations bordering the forest. The map also documents deep geological features such as Skookum Joe Canyon and high-altitude areas like Clover Basin. Steep gullies and gulches, such as Snowslide Gulch and Wright Gulch, mark the descent from these summits toward the river valley, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Sweet Grass County highlands.
