About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this Dawson County landscape, creating prominent riverine features like Monroe Island. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by numerous drainages including Cabin Cr, Sand Cr, and the appropriately named Smokey Coulee. This 2014 survey documents the small settlement of Hoyt and provides a detailed look at the local infrastructure, from the Main Canal in the north to the network of local routes such as Road 255 and CR-130.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Glueckstal Cem near Huey Cr particularly significant for tracing area families. The map also records the industrial footprint of the region, specifically the Gas City Oil Field located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The intersection of natural watercourses like Clear Cr and Monroe Cr with man-made features illustrates the long-standing relationship between the river valley and the surrounding high ground.
