There is something for everyone. Prior to the arrival of settlers, Shoshone, Flathead and Bannack Native Americans hunted the Madison Valley each spring. In 1863, gold was discovered in Alder Gulch, just west of Ennis. This brought on “the rush.” Two months later, William Ennis homesteaded the site along the Madison River that quickly became the town of Ennis.

BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED ACTION ENNIS BIG SKY AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED ACTION This chapter describes Ennis Big Sky Airport and presents the planning background for the proposed projects. Madison County owns and operates the airport and is the Sponsor for the proposed improvements at the facility. This chapter also describes the Proposed Action the Sponsor is seeking to implement to safely accommodate a change in the “critical aircraft” (the most demanding aircraft type or grouping of aircraft) that make regular use of the Ennis Big Sky Airport. The Proposed Action includes acquiring additional property for the airport, extending and widening the existing runway, and making other facility improvements to better and more safely accommodate the aircraft using the facility. Further, this chapter discusses a timeline for implementation of the proposed improvements. This Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to identify the potential environmental impacts associated with the Proposed Action, as well as how any identified impacts can be avoided, minimized, or mitigated. The EA was prepared pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the President’s Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations Title 40 CFR §§ 1500-1508, the implementing regulations for NEPA, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures and FAA Order 5050.4B National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions. 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Airport Location The Ennis Big Sky Airport (also referred to as “Airport” or by its Airport Location Identifier “EKS” in this document) is located approximately seven miles south-southeast of the Town of Ennis in the Madison River Valley of southwestern Montana.

  • Grizzly Bear Distribution in Relation to Habitat Areas and Recreational Use : Cabin Creek-Hilgard Mountains by Bonnie Marie Blan
    Grizzly bear distribution in relation to habitat areas and recreational use : Cabin Creek-Hilgard Mountains by Bonnie Marie Blanchard A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Fish and Wildlife Management Montana State University © Copyright by Bonnie Marie Blanchard (1978) Abstract: The distribution of grizzly bears in relation to habitat areas and recreational use in the Cabin Creek - Hilgard Mountains region of southwestern Montana was investigated during 1975 and 1976. The distribution of grizzly bears was determined by ground and aerial sightings, radio tracking, and locations of other grizzly bear sign. The bears qnd their sign were unevenly distributed over the study area with the most observations occurring in Cabin Creek Basin and the least in the Hilgard Mountains. Grizzly bear activity in the study area varied in intensity and distribution between 1975 and 1976. Locations of observations increased in elevation from May through September and were most frequent on south and southwest exposures. Grizzly bears probably selected FEID/AGCA (Importance Value = 25.0) and PIAL-ABLA (I.V. = 20.0) habitat types in the study area out of proportion to their availability. Observations occurred most frequently in the FEID/AGCA type during spring and early summer, and in the PIAL-ABLA type during fall. Timbered and open areas accounted for nearly equal numbers of observations. Grasses and sedges had the greatest overall frequency of occurrence in scats and were the most important foods during spring. Whitebark pine nuts were the predominant fall food. Recreational use was concentrated in the Hilgard Mountains during July and August.

  • Montana Airports 2016 Economic Impact Study
    MONTANA AIRPORTS Y D TU T S AC MP 2016 C I OMI ECON Introduction Montana’s airports play an integral role in our transportation system by providing access to destinations within the state, throughout the country, and across the globe. Airports also offer significant economic benefits to our communities by supporting jobs; generating payroll; paying taxes; and triggering spending at local, regional, and state levels. The importance of airports goes beyond transportation and economics. Airports offer access, services, and other valuable attributes for Montanans that cannot always be easily measured in dollars and cents. Residents and visitors use airports for leisure and business travel, and airports serve as the base for a wide range of critical activities such as wildland firefighting, search and rescue operations, and training for future aviators. Airports are the starting point for aircraft that conduct utility inspections, provide medical evacuation services, and transport staff and executives for business activity. This Economic Impact Study analyzed the contributions of Montana’s airports to determine the benefits that airports provide throughout the state. This study updated the previous analysis conducted in 2007 and 2008. CLASSIFICATION OF AIRPORTS Commercial General Aviation Service Airports Airports MONTANA 1 AIRPORTS 2016 Economic Impact Study Methodology To better understand the value of Montana’s airports from the perspective of both economics and community benefits, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) conducted a comprehensive study of the state’s aviation facilities. The study analyzed the contributions of Montana’s airports, including aviation- and non-aviation-related businesses, visitor spending, capital expenditures on construction, and additional spin-off (or “multiplier”) effects.

Rarely do properties come on the market blessed with virtually all of the amenities that comprise greatness. EThese properties remain in family hands for generations, and if eventually destined for sale, they often transfer quietly into the hands of friends or neighbors who have coveted the property over time. In real estate parlance, these are known as legacy properties. The Lone View Ranch is such a place. It boasts all of the attributes mentioned above and many additional ones. Furthermore, it is situated a short drive from Ennis, Montana, and it adjoins Moonlight Basin, with private entrance to this resort and the Big Sky Resort communities.
