1905 Map of Bowdoin

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Great Northern rail lines and early irrigation efforts define this 1903 survey of the Montana plains. The landscape is dominated by the expansive Lake Bowdoin and the meandering Beaver Creek, where numerous dams and a ditch system reflect the work of the Reclamation Service in the early twentieth century. Small railroad settlements and isolated outposts like Ashfield, Bowdoin, and Bradys Ranch serve as the primary human markers in a terrain characterized by the rising Larb Hills and the deep cut of Vanton Coulee. To the north, the Milk River skirts the edge of the quadrangle near Lone Tree Lake and Mud Lake. This map captures a period of transition as the federal government actively managed water resources to support the growing ranching and transportation networks of Valley County.
