1956 Map of Fishtail

About this map

Fishtail serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey along the boundary of Stillwater Co and Carbon Co. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems supporting the local agricultural economy, including the Magee Ditch, West Rosebud Ditch, and Dempster Ditch, which divert water from the mountain runoff of West Rosebud Creek and Fishtail Creek. The terrain transitions from the elevated Fladberg Bench and Davidson plateau in the north into the deeply carved drainages of Murphy Canyon, Arney Canyon, and Box Canyon.
