2011 Map of Emigrant

About this map

Chico Hot Springs and the historic settlement of Old Chico anchor this high-mountain landscape in the Paradise Valley. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent from peaks like Emigrant Peak and Chico Peak toward the Yellowstone River, a topography that long drove the region's mining and tourism economies. The corridor along Emigrant Creek is particularly dense with evidence of extraction, where industrial landmarks like the Alaska Mine, Ku Klux Mine, and Saint Julian Mine are recorded alongside smaller operations such as the Allison Mine.
