About this map

Park City sits at the southern edge of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the rugged upland breaks of Coombs Flat and Miller Butte descend toward the valley floor. This 1956 field-checked survey reveals an intricate irrigation network essential to the local agricultural economy, specifically the Big Cove Ditch and Old Mill Ditch which parallel the Northern Pacific railroad tracks.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Pioneer Cem west of the town site and a designated Historical Marker near the southern boundary. The topography is defined by numerous drainages such as Valley Creek, Sawmill Gulch, and Benedict Gulch, cutting through the high plateaus and creating a complex series of ridges and draws that separate the Stillwater and Yellowstone county line.
