1968 Map of Malta West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The city of Malta, the county seat of Phillips County, sits at a bend of the Milk River where the High Plains meet the river valley. In the late 1960s, this area was a hub of transport and irrigation, defined by the winding course of the river and the parallel routes of the Burlington Northern railroad and the Dodson Clark Trail. The map reveals the intricate water management system of the era, including the North Canal and South Canal, which diverted water to support agriculture in this arid landscape. South of the river valley, the terrain rises toward Taylor Hill, dissected by natural drainages like Alkali Creek and Taylor Coulee. Revisions from 1987 illustrate the expansion of the Malta Airport and the evolving footprint of the town, documenting the transition of this prairie community through the mid-20th century.
