1961 Map of Earls Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Big Hole River carves through this portion of Beaverhead and Madison Counties, creating a fertile corridor for irrigation and ranching in an otherwise arid landscape. Traces of a sophisticated water management system are evident through the Streb Ditch, Pendergast Ditch, and Gallagher Ditch, which redirect water to family operations like the Breeden Ranch and Corning Ranch. The Union Pacific railroad parallels the river, serving as the industrial backbone for the region's extraction activities.
