About this map

Paradise Valley is defined by the sweeping course of the Yellowstone River, which marks the western edge of this 2014 landscape. The terrain rises sharply to the east into the Absaroka Range, where high-elevation landmarks like Dexter Point and George Lake dominate the mountainous interior. Irrigation infrastructure such as Paradise Canal Rd indicates the valley's long-standing agricultural heritage, while the small settlement of Pray sits near the river's bend.

Genealogists will find notable sites of local history including Shorthill Cem and Magee Cem, both situated on the lower slopes where the mountains meet the valley floor. The map captures an intricate network of mountain drainages, from McDonald Cr in the north to Elbow Cr and Magee Cr in the south. Within the Gallatin National Forest, the topography includes dramatic drops like Cascade Falls and isolated water bodies such as Fire Lake.
