1967 Map of Bluewater

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bluewater Creek and its various tributaries define this mid-1960s landscape in Carbon County, Montana, where water management is central to the local geography. The presence of the O'connor Ditch and a siphon alongside orchard lands indicates a developed irrigation network designed to sustain agriculture in the arid terrain. Natural water sources are prolific, including Big Bluewater Spring and Bachelder Spring, which supported the establishment of the Bluewater Fish Hatchery. The map also captures industrial footprints with the inclusion of the Ruckavina wells, such as Ruckavina Well No 2 (Flowing) and Ruckavina Well No 3. These features, along with the Section House Draw and various jeep trails, reveal a working landscape of ranching and resource extraction.
