1955 Map of Absarokee

About this map

The Stillwater River valley serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey of the Absarokee region. The settlement pattern is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation canals, including the Garrigus Ditch, Nichols Ditch, and the Sylvester Easly Ditch, which redirect water to the surrounding benchlands. These engineering features underscore the agricultural dependency of the Stillwater and Beaver Creek drainages during this era.
