1967 Map of Hoyt

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path through this portion of Dawson County, Montana, defining a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and human engineering. In the mid-1960s, the small settlement of Hoyt sat along the Burlington Northern railroad line, serving as a quiet point of activity south of the river. The topography is marked by a complex system of coulees and drainages including Clear Creek, Cedar Creek, and Cabin Creek, while the Main Canal demonstrates the critical role of water management in the region's agricultural development.
