1960 Map of Gilman

About this map

Gilman lies along the banks of the Sun River, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Kirkaldie Flats and irrigation networks in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the heavy management of water, featuring the Pishkun National Wildlife Refuge and Willow Creek National Wildlife Refuge, both built around significant reservoirs. This era shows the intricate system of the Sun River Slope Canal and Floweree Canal diverting water across the plains to support ranching operations like the Burch Ranch and Hodgkiss Ranch.
