1972 Map of Fallon SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through the prairie landscape, defined by the stark elevation change between the river bottom and the massive Broadview Bench to the south. This 1970s survey captures a critical transportation corridor where the Burlington Northern railroad hugs the southern bank of the river, passing through the small community of Fallon and the riverside site of Bluffport. The industrial and agricultural utility of the land is evident in the network of irrigation and water management features, including the Terry Main Canal and the Coal Creek Reservoir with its prominent Spillway. For those researching family history in Prairie Co, the map provides precise locations for the Fallon Cem and scattered infrastructure like the Pumping Sta and various Flowing Wells that supported life on this arid Montana benchland.
