About this map

Parker and its surrounding agricultural valley are defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and creek drainages in this early 21st-century survey. The landscape is heavily marked by the water rights and engineering of the region, visible through features such as the Broadwater - Missouri West Side Canal, Mullins Ditch, and Tom Williams Ditch. These waterways support the ranching operations that dot the area, including the Riverside Ranch near the convergence of Crow Creek and Swamp Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of the area's residency and history, including the Radersburg Cemetery located near Keating Gulch Rd. The naming of local infrastructure, such as Kimpton Rd, Lewis Kitto Ln, and Hossfeld Ln, reflects the long-standing family footprints in Broadwater County. Terrain features like Charity Gulch and Cherry Spring further characterize this high-plains environment where water management remains the primary driver of settlement patterns.
