1956 Map of Mossmain

About this map

Mossmain and its surrounding rail infrastructure dominate this mid-century landscape in Yellowstone County, where the Burlington Northern lines intersect near a network of heavy agricultural industry. The area serves as a critical transportation hub, evidenced by the presence of large Stockyards and Sheep Corrals positioned along the tracks to manage livestock transport. To the south, the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River flows through a wide valley, its waters diverted through an extensive system of irrigation works including the Billings Bench Water Association Canal, Hesper Ditch, and Big Ditch.
