2017 Map of Clark

About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, supporting an intricate network of irrigation systems critical to the settlement of Clark. These waterworks, including the Kelly Ditch, Anna May Ditch, and Sirrine Ditch, define the transition from the high-desert terrain of Sugarloaf Butte to the cultivated lands below. The map documents the local geography of burials at the Bennett Buttes Cem - Clark Cem, situated near the confluence of local drainages like Bennett Cr and Littlerock Cr. This 2017 survey reflects a modern western community defined by its water rights and the rugged topographic features of the Absaroka foothills, seen in the deep incisions of Robertson Draw and Hollenbeck Draw. The intersection of historic ditch names and modern residential roads like Louis Lamour Ln and Gunpowder Dr illustrates the evolving character of this Park County region.
