2014 Map of Manhattan

About this map

Manhattan serves as the primary hub of this Gallatin County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate water networks of the Gallatin Valley. The map documents an extensive system of irrigation and water management, featuring prominent infrastructure like the Lowline Canal, White Ditch, and Lewis Overflow, which sustain the agricultural operations surrounding settlements like Amsterdam and Churchill. The Gallatin River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, crossed by several named landmarks including the Kinkle Bridge, Ray Angel Bridge, and Central Park Bridge. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Meadowview Cemetery north of the river, while the presence of smaller locales like White, Buell, and Belgrade Junction illustrates the historic rail and road-based settlement patterns that define this region.
