1960 Map of Foster

About this map

The Bighorn River carves a complex, braided path through this Big Horn County landscape, defining the local irrigation and transport networks of the early 1960s. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Line runs parallel to the river valley, supporting small sidings and settlements like Foster and Kingley. This region is characterized by a high concentration of rural education sites, including the Sorrel Horse Sch, Fairview Sch, and Community Sch, which served the outlying ranching and farming homesteads. Water management is central to the area's layout, evidenced by the Two Leggins Canal and the Two Leggins Tunnel, which divert water to the terrace lands above the river bottom. To the east, the terrain rises into dissected coulees and ridges, drained by the North Cottonwood Creek and the South Cottonwood Creek, while landmarks like Wagon Box Coulee name the local topography.
