About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through this high-country landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the Northern Pacific railroad and early water management systems. By the early 1950s, the irrigation network was well-defined by the Mission Ditch and a series of Windsor ditches, including the Upper Windsor Ditch and Lower Windsor Ditch. These engineering works sustained a string of ranches along the river valley, such as the Windsor Ranch, Wilburn Ranch, and Peterson Ranch.
