1987 Map of Bynum
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Bynum stands at the center of this Teton County landscape, where the managed waters of the Rocky Mountain Front meet the plains. The 1980s terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation, including a Flume, Inverted Siphon, and various named ditches that feed Farmers Reservoir and the large Eureka Reservoir. This infrastructure supports a distinct pattern of settlement, from the clustered structures of the Miller Colony to numerous family-held spreads like Monkman Ranch, Fabrick Ranch, and Blixrud Ranch. The topographic detail reveals the sharp rise of Burton Bench and the winding course of the Teton River in the south. Aviation and industry are represented by a Landing Strip and several Gravel Pits, while the presence of an Aband Canal near the Muddy Creek drainage points to the shifting history of water management in this agricultural corridor.
