1951 Map of Elton

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the heart of this mid-century Montana landscape, flanked by the Northern Pacific railroad and a complex network of irrigation ditches. The region's agricultural and industrial life is documented through features like the Upper Windsor Ditch and the Gow Sawmill (Inactive), reflecting a period when water management was central to local ranching operations. The terrain transitions from the river valley up toward Buffalo Hump and through McAdows Canyon, where high-elevation homesteading had already begun to recede by the early 1950s.
