1965 Map of Kidd

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor and the Red Rock River anchor this topographic study of southwestern Montana, where the valley floor meets the high peaks of the Beaverhead Mountains and Tendoy Mountains. The small settlement of Kidd stands along the rail line, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and transport landscape. This 1965 survey, updated in 1979, illustrates a transition between the irrigated valley bottoms and the protected timberlands of the Beaverhead National Forest. Drainage patterns are defined by deep cuts such as Bell Canyon, McKenzie Canyon, and Limekiln Canyon, while McKnight Creek flows through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 20th century, including a Rest Area and various Gravel Pit sites, reflecting the intersection of interstate transit and local resource extraction.
