1966 Map of Frannie

About this map

Agricultural irrigation networks define the landscape of the northern Bighorn Basin during the mid-1960s, where the Frannie Canal and Deaver Canal snake across the high plains. The map centers on the small rail-aligned communities of Frannie and Deaver, the latter featuring a clustered townsite with City Hall, a Sewage Disposal Pond, and the nearby Deaver Cem. This era shows a transition in local infrastructure, with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad serving as a primary corridor alongside the established path of Highway 310.
