1983 Map of Fort Shaw

About this map

The Fort Shaw Military Reservation Boundary anchors this landscape in north-central Montana, where the legacy of late 19th-century frontier defense meets a complex modern irrigation network. The transition between the high plateaus of First Bench and Second Bench is defined by a dense system of gravity-fed waterworks, including the Greenfields Canal, South Canal, and the Sun River Valley Ditch. These engineering features reflect the transformation of the arid Sun River valley into productive agricultural land.
