1950 Map of Edgemont SW

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this southwestern corner of Fall River County, shaping a landscape defined by water management and mid-century ranching. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks parallel the river's path, serving as the primary transit corridor through the Dudley area. Irrigation infrastructure is prominent, with the Tubbs Canal and an Irrigation Canal diverting water to the arid terrain, alongside an Abandoned Canal that suggests shifting agricultural efforts. Numerous drainage ways such as Agate Creek, Fiddle Creek, and Driftwood Creek carve through the Cottonwood hills, while scattered windmills and isolated wells indicate the vital importance of groundwater for the local livestock economy during the early 1950s.
