1964 Map of Dayton South

About this map

The town of Dayton sits at the edge of the plains where the Tongue River emerges from its dramatic canyon in the Bighorn National Forest. In the mid-1960s, the landscape transitions from irrigated valley floors, fed by the Tongue River Ditch No 1 and South Side Ditch, to the steep limestone cliffs and timbered ridges of the mountains. Local life is centered around the Tongue River High School and several working livestock operations, including the IXL Ranch and Horseshoe Ranch. For those exploring the backcountry, a network of trails such as the Pack Trail leads past geologic landmarks like Steamboat Point and Fallen City. Outdoor recreation is established at the Tongue River Campground and the Tongue River Cave, while technical mountain driving is evident at the Hairpin Turn and Sand Turn on the climbing roads.
