About this map

Paradise Valley serves as the focal point for this survey, where the Yellowstone River flows through the western lowlands before the terrain rises sharply into the Absaroka Range. Much of the eastern half of the map is dominated by the high-elevation wilderness of the Gallatin National Forest, characterized by numerous drainage systems including N Fork McDonald Cr and Strawberry Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the map documents cultural landmarks like Shorthill Cem and Magee Cem, which are situated near the road networks of E River Rd and McDonald Creek Rd. The transition from the valley floor to the peaks is marked by features like Cascade Falls and high-altitude water bodies such as George Lake and Fire Lake. The road system, including Luccock Park Rd and Dexter Peak Rd, indicates the modern access points into this varied landscape of summits and riverbanks.
