1987 Map of Manhattan
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Manhattan serves as a central hub in this Gallatin County landscape, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad meets an intricate network of agricultural irrigation. The 1980s terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of water management, including the Lowline Canal, White Ditch, and Moreland Ditch, which support the surrounding farmland. To the south, the communities of Amsterdam and Church Hill are visible, while the Gallatin River winds through the eastern portion of the map near Central Park. This survey captures the transition of the local economy, where an Old Railroad Grade and several irrigation canals trace the historical path of land development. Smaller settlements like Buell and natural features such as Baker Creek and Camp Creek highlight the rural character of the region during this era of Montana's agricultural history.
