2014 Map of Ermont

About this map

Ermont Mill stands as a focal point of industrial history within this section of the Beaverhead National Forest. Located along Ermont Gulch, the mill site reflects the resource extraction that shaped this part of Beaverhead County. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Pioneer Mountains, where prominent peaks like Black Mtn and Red Butte overlook a complex network of drainage basins. Numerous gulches such as Sawlog Gulch, Watt Gulch, and Watson Gulch cut through the terrain, feeding into water systems like Rattlesnake Cr and French Cr. The map details a transition from high mountain basins like Kearns Basin to narrow passages such as Clarks Canyon, showing the rugged geography that dictated the placement of historic routes like French Creek Rd and Badger Pass Rd.
