About this map

The Paradise Valley is anchored here by the Yellowstone River, which defines the western lowlands before the terrain rises sharply into the Gallatin National Forest. This landscape is marked by a clear transition from the valley's irrigation networks, including the Upland Ditch, to the extractive and recreational history of the mountains.

Settlement patterns show distinct eras of development, from the established resort at Chico Hot Springs to the older clusters at Old Chico and White City. High-altitude mining activity is evident along Emigrant Gulch, where several Adits and the St Julian Mine are recorded. Genealogists can locate the Chico Cemetery south of Emigrant, while landmarks like St Johns Church and the river Boat Ramp underscore the area's long-standing community and transit hubs.
