2024 Map of Castagne

About this map

Castagne Cem and the small settlement of Deuel sit at the heart of this Carbon County landscape, where the foothills meet a complex system of agricultural irrigation. The area is defined by an intricate network of man-made waterways like the Pleasant Valley Ditch, Interland-Ramstad Ditch, and the Main Canal, which divert water from the Red Lodge Creek and its many tributaries to sustain the surrounding ranches. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Thiel Homestead Cem, Sunrise Cem, and John Henry Cem. The terrain rises from the West Bench toward Jones Hill, revealing a transition between the valley floors and the higher elevations of the Custer Gallatin vicinity. The road network, from Missouri Cutoff Rd to Scilley Mountain Vista Dr, follows the natural contours of the land and the paths of historical ditches.
