2017 Map of Emigrant

About this map

Chico Hot Springs serves as a historic landmark in this corner of Park County, where the transition from the Yellowstone River valley to the towering heights of the Absaroka Range defines the local geography. The settlement patterns reflect a history of mining and recreation, with the town of Emigrant positioned along the river while Chico and the smaller White City sit further up the drainage of Emigrant Cr. Traces of the region's development are evident in the winding Chico Cemetery Rd and the proximity of the Chico Cem to the valley floor. High-altitude landmarks like Emigrant Peak and Chico Peak dominate the southern half of the map, situated within the protected lands of the Gallatin National Forest. The landscape is etched by various gulches, including Moze Gulch and Conlin Gulch, which indicate the complex drainage systems feeding into the main river valley.
