About this map

Mountain View Cem sits on the western edge of this landscape, overlooking the valley where the Beaverhead River and Stodden Slough flow north through a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The eastern outskirts of Dillon are defined by an intricate system of man-made waterways, including the Dillon Canal, Owen Ditch, and Tulley Ditch, which redirect water across the benchlands to support local ranching and farming operations.

The terrain rises toward the east and south, carved by natural drainages like Benson Cr and Hoffman Gulch. Modern infrastructure is visible near the valley floor, specifically the Dillon Airport and a grid of rural roads such as Sweetwater Rd and Carter Creek Rd. This map documents the persistent reliance on early 20th-century water rights infrastructure, such as the East Bench Canal, to manage the arid environment of Beaverhead County.
