1967 Map of Marsh

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through this portion of Dawson County, Montana, defining a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and early 20th-century irrigation efforts. The small settlement of Marsh serves as a local hub near the Northern Pacific railroad line, which follows the river's southern bank. This survey documents the complex water management systems of the era, including the Main Canal, which parallels the river to support agriculture in the bottomlands. Education and community life are represented by the Yale Sch and a local Cem, reflecting the rural social structure of the late 1960s. The historical importance of the corridor is further noted by the Lewis and Clark Trail, which crosses the northern terrain above the winding paths of Cracker Box Creek and Clear Creek.
