About this map

Silver City sits at the junction of Marysville Rd and Lincoln Rd W in a landscape shaped by water management and high-altitude terrain. The map records a complex network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's ranching or agricultural history, including the Vincent Ditch, Justisson Ditch, and Gans Klein Ditch. These man-made channels divert water across the valley floor beneath the eastern slopes of the Lewis and Clark Range.

To the east, the elevation climbs sharply toward Baldy Mtn, while the southern reaches are marked by the colorfully named Trust-to-Luck Gulch. Drainage for the area is defined by several converging streams, most notably Little Prickly Pear Cr, which is fed by tributaries like Trinity Cr and Willow Cr. The 2020 survey captures the modern road network, such as Chevallier Dr and Mount Hwy 279, laid over a historical township and range grid.
