About this map

Castagne serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Carbon County, where a complex network of irrigation ditches defines the agricultural development of the region. The map reveals an intricate system of water management, featuring the Linderland-Ramsland Ditch, Pleasant Valley Ditch, and Harney Ditch which draw from the winding course of Red Lodge Cr. This reliance on local water sources is reflected in the numerous named ditches and canals, such as the Antilla Ditch and Main Canal, that cross the drainage of the West Bench.

Genealogical interest is found in the local burial grounds including Castagne Cem, Sunrise Cem, and the John Henry Cem. The presence of the Thiel Homestead Cem near Schroeder Gulch highlights the individual family legacies that shaped this portion of Montana. Transportation routes like Missouri Cutoff Rd and Taylor Hill Rd connect these dispersed sites, tracing the historical paths established by early settlers.
