1956 Map of Columbus West

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The confluence of the Stillwater River and the Yellowstone River anchors this mid-century survey of the Stillwater Valley. At the heart of the landscape, Columbus serves as a vital transit point where the Northern Pacific railroad parallels the riverbank, supporting the agricultural and industrial activity of the region. The map highlights the intensive irrigation network essential to the local economy, featuring the Columbus Water Users Association Ditch, White Ditch, and Shane Ditch. Settlement patterns follow the river and rail corridors, with small locales like Carlton and Quinn appearing alongside family-named terrain such as Countryman Creek. Notable landmarks include the Mountain View Cem and a quarry located east of the main townsite, providing a clear record of the civic and commercial infrastructure in the years following World War II.
