About this map

Blackfeet Indian Reservation land and the emerging irrigation infrastructure of Pondera County dominate this mid-1930s landscape. The settlement of Valier sits at the eastern edge of Lake Frances, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and farming operations. The map documents an extensive network of water management, including the Fisher Canal, Ryan Lauffer Ditch, and several labeled syphons, which transformed these high plains into productive agricultural land.
