1988 Map of Dexter Point

About this map

The Yellowstone River snakes through the western portion of Paradise Valley in this late-1980s landscape, where the valley floor transitions into the steep slopes of the Gallatin National Forest and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The map captures a detailed view of local infrastructure such as the Paradise Canal and the Old Railroad Grade, reflecting the area's agricultural and transportation history. Small-scale human presence is documented through the Magee Cemetery and Shorty Cemetery, alongside recreational hubs like Loch Leven Campground and Pine Creek Campground. Rising from the drainage of Magee Creek and Kauffman Creek, the terrain culminates at the eponymous Dexter Point. The map also highlights natural landmarks such as Cascade Falls and several small alpine bodies like Fire Lake, illustrating the complex drainage network of Pine Creek and its many forks.
