1969 Map of Kinsey

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this corner of Custer County, serving as the vital artery for an intricate system of agricultural development and transportation. In the late 1960s, the landscape around the settlement of Kinsey was defined by a complex irrigation network, including the Kinsey Highline Canal, Kinsey Middle Canal, and Kinsey Lower Canal. These waterways, managed in part via the Kinsey No 2 Pumping Sta, transformed the arid terrain adjacent to Muster Creek into productive land. Parallel rail lines of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Burlington Northern trace the river's southern bank through Tusler, highlighting the area's role as a transit corridor for Montana's eastern plains. The map also records several Gravel Pits and various pipelines, reflecting the industrial infrastructure supporting the local rural economy.
