About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the heart of this Park County landscape, which by the early 1950s was defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure and ranching operations. The Northern Pacific railroad and the Old Yellowstone Trail flank the river, providing vital transport links through this corridor. A significant concentration of family legacies is recorded here, including the Wilcox Homestead, Troutman Homestead, and Frelick Homestead, many of which are noted as abandoned, signaling a period of transition in high-prairie land use.
