About this map

The Sun River carves a deep valley through the center of this landscape, marking the boundary between Teton Co and Lewis and Clark Co. The 1960s terrain is defined by an extensive network of coulees and irrigation features, including the Floweree Canal and the Sun River School Section Slope Canal, which reflect the region's managed water systems. Conservation is a primary land use here, with significant portions of the territory dedicated to the Pishkun National Wildlife Refuge and the Willow Creek National Wildlife Refuge.

Local settlements and ranching operations are clustered around the Great Northern railway line, notably at Gilman and Kirkaldie. Small family operations like the Burch Ranch and Hodgkiss Ranch dot the higher ground, while the Liberty Sch once served the rural community near Basin Lake. The map details the transition from the broad Kirkaldie Flats to prominent landmarks like Eagle Point and Nunemaker Hill.
