1968 Map of Forsyth

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this northern plains landscape, anchoring the development of Forsyth and the surrounding valley. As the county seat of Rosebud County, the town's industrial and transportation identity is clearly defined by the heavy presence of the Burlington Northern line and a large Roundhouse facility near the riverbank. This map shows the intricate irrigation network essential to the region's agriculture, including the Cartersville Canal and Hammond Canal that parallel the river's flow.
