About this map

Dupuyer serves as the primary hub for this Pondera County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the eastern Rockies. The map documents a sophisticated irrigation and water management network essential to the region's ranching economy, including the extensive B Canal, the Dean Burd Leach Ditch, and the Scott Ranch Dam. These man-made features overlay a natural hydrography of seasonal coulees and fork systems, such as Jones Coulee and Sober Up Coulee.

Local infrastructure is concentrated in the settlement, featuring the Dupuyer Post Office and the Pondera Co Rural Fire Dist Sta 3. Genealogists will find the Dupuyer Cemetery positioned south of the main town area, overlooking the banks of Dupuyer Creek. The terrain is further defined by the complex branching of the Marias River system, specifically the North Fork Dry Fork Marias River and the Middle Fork Dry Fork Marias River, which provide the topographical structure for the southern half of the quadrangle.
