2000 Map of Dexter Point

About this map

Paradise Valley is defined by the sweeping course of the Yellowstone River, which serves as the primary corridor for settlement and recreation in this part of Park County. This survey reveals a landscape where the river's Western bank provides access at the Mallards Rest Recreation Area and Loch Leven Recreation Area, while the rugged Eastern terrain quickly ascends into the Gallatin National Forest. Genealogy researchers can locate family sites at the Shorthill Cemetery and Magee Cemetery, which sit on the benches above the river plain. The map captures the abrupt transition from the irrigated valley floor to the high elevations of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, where features like Dexter Point and Cascade Falls mark the interior of the Beartooth range. Small local developments like Luccock Park are shown alongside infrastructure such as Gravel Pits and various creek drainages including McDonald Creek.
