1956 Map of Columbus East

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Columbus anchors the southwestern corner of this mid-century landscape, situated where the Yellowstone River and the Northern Pacific railroad corridor dictate the pace of local life and transport. The map reveals the critical infrastructure of the era, specifically the Columbus Water Association ditch, which marks the transition from the river valley to the dissected uplands. North of the settlement, the terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems including Keyser Creek, Wildcat Coulee, and Toms Creek, which carve into the ridges. These geographical features, including landmarks like Herder and Henry, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of Stillwater County before modern development significantly altered the rural Montana landscape.
