1972 Map of Fallon SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this Prairie County landscape, creating a corridor for vital transportation and irrigation infrastructure during the early 1970s. Parallel rail lines from the Burlington Northern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific follow the southern riverbank, marking the historical importance of this valley as a northern plains transit artery. The small settlement of Fallon sits near the river's bend, supported by the nearby Fallon Cem and technical facilities like a Pumping Sta and Substa. To the south, the flat expanse of the Broadview Bench rises above the valley floor, dissected by intermittent drainages such as O'Fallon Creek and Arroyo Creek. Evidence of local water management is seen in the Terry Main Canal and Coal Creek Reservoir, which provide essential resources to this arid ranching and farming region.
