About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northern edge of this landscape, anchoring a complex system of historical irrigation infrastructure. Early water engineering is prominently recorded here, including the Old Mill Ditch, Italian Ditch, and Big Ditch, which redirect water across the valley floor. Near the northern boundary, the Park City Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical research, situated just north of the river near Youngs Point.

Further south, the terrain transitions into the elevations of Harris Hill and the drainage of Peck Gulch. This southern region is defined by the crossroads of Montaqua and Rockvale, where the Clawson Ditch and Dutton Canal serve the agricultural lands along Rock Creek. The map documents the persistent rural character of this borderland between Stillwater and Carbon counties, tracing the evolution of homestead roads and water management systems.
