1956 Map of Fishtail
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Fishtail serves as the central hub of this high-plains landscape, situated where the foothills meet a complex network of man-made irrigation. The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as Fladberg Bench and the prominent Nellies Twin Buttes, while the hydrography reveals a sophisticated agricultural infrastructure designed for the Missouri River Basin. A dense system of waterways including Yates Ditch, Hogan Ditch, and Phillips Ditch crisscrosses the drainages of West Rosebud Creek and Fishtail Creek. This 1950s-era survey documents the rural character of the Stillwater and Carbon county line, where local landmarks like the Twin Butte Sch and various canyons such as Arney Canyon and Box Canyon anchor the geographic identity of the community before later modernization.
