2021 Map of Clark

About this map

Clarks Fork Yellowstone River flows through this corner of Park County, defining a landscape shaped by an intricate network of irrigation systems and high desert terrain. The settlement of Clark serves as a local hub, situated near the Bennett Buttes Cem and the confluence of numerous managed water ways. The map reveals the critical importance of water rights in this arid region, as evidenced by the dense concentration of named irrigation channels like Kelly Ditch, Sirrine Ditch, and Anna May Ditch that crisscross the flats. Terrain features such as Sugarloaf Butte and Robertson Draw provide natural landmarks amidst a modern grid of rural roads and trails with distinctive local names, including Broken Arrow Trail and Shining Mountain Rd. This document captures the intersection of natural hydrology and human engineering at the foot of the mountains.
