2012 Map of Clark

About this map

Clarks Fork Yellowstone River defines the eastern boundary of this landscape, supporting a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the State Ditch, Sabine Ditch, and Kelly Ditch. The presence of Miles Battlefield and the Clark Cem south of the central settlement of Clark provides historical depth to this high-desert ranching territory. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Sugarloaf Butte and is deeply marked by a legacy of individual landholding, evidenced by the distribution of the Noble Ranch, Johnson Ranch, Owens Ranch, and Garrett Ranch. A modern road network, featuring evocatively named routes like Shining Mountain Rd and Crossfire Trl, overlays an older system of draws and creeks, including Robertson Draw and Littlerock Cr, that once dictated the movement of livestock and water across this Park County expanse.
