About this map

Dayton serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, situated at the confluence where the Touchet River meets several sprawling drainages including Patit Creek and Mustard Hollow. The town's layout reveals a developed civic core featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and Hospital, while its industrial identity is defined by the Grain Elevators located along the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroad lines. These rail corridors highlight Dayton's role as an agricultural transport hub during this era.

The surrounding geography is marked by deep canyons and high plateaus, such as Davis Hollow and Craig Hollow. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions to small settlements like Baileysburg and Ronan. Water infrastructure is evident to the southeast along the North Fork, where a Filtration Plant and Gaging Station monitor the river system. To the west, the County Fairgrounds and Golf Course mark the edges of the local community's social and recreational life.
