1951 Map of Cody
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Heart Mountain stands as a prominent landmark north of the Shoshone River, anchoring a landscape defined by both massive geological features and extensive irrigation projects. In the early 1950s, the development of the Missouri River Basin is evident through the intricate network of the Heart Mountain Canal, Idaho Canal, and the Cody Lateral Ditch that brought water to the Ralston Flats. To the southwest, the Buffalo Bill Dam and Buffalo Bill Reservoir mark the entrance to the dramatic Shoshone Canyon, where the Shoshone Cavern National Monument is located on the slopes of Rattlesnake Mountain. The town of Cody serves as the hub for the region, showing infrastructure such as the Cody Airport, a Hospital, and a Refinery. Scattered throughout the basin are numerous family-named properties like Two Dot Ranch and Marlow Ranch, alongside signs of energy exploration like several Oil Wells.
