About this map

Melville serves as the central hub of this ranching landscape in the mid-1980s, where the management of water is the most visible signature on the terrain. The hydrological system is complex, featuring the Upper Sweet Grass Canal and Lower Sweet Grass Canal that snake across the foothills to redirect flow from Sweet Grass Creek. This network includes technical elements like a siphon and sections marked as Abnd Canal, illustrating the evolving nature of irrigation in this corner of Montana.
