About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River carves a deep valley through the high country of Park County, defining the eastern portion of this 1987 survey. The small settlement of Clark serves as the local hub, supported by an intricate network of irrigation systems like the Anna May Ditch, Kelly Ditch, and State Ditch that draw water into the surrounding flats. The geography is marked by sharp elevation changes, notably at Sugarloaf Butte and the northern reaches of Line Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the community Cemetery situated near the center of the township, south of the main road. The map also records the location of a Fish Hatchery along the river and the smaller enclave of Littlerock to the southwest. This landscape reflects a late-20th-century ranching and residential pattern where life is closely tied to the water flowing from the western slopes through Bennett Creek and Robertson Draw.
