2024 Map of Fishtail

About this map

Fishtail serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Stillwater and Carbon Counties, characterized by a complex network of agricultural irrigation and rugged canyon topography. The landscape is defined by its water management history, with numerous named waterways such as Magee Ditch, Yates Ditch, and Nels Thomas Ditch drawing from the perennial flows of West Rosebud Creek and Fishtail Creek. Prominent geological features like the Fladberg Bench to the north and the sharp relief of Murphy Canyon and Box Canyon illustrate the transition from high plateaus to the drainage basins below. Local landmarks such as Mystic View and the geological formation of Nellies Twin Buttes provide specific points of interest for those tracing the terrain between Davidson Creek and Antelope Creek.
