1960 Map of Myers

About this map

The Yellowstone River winds through the heart of this Treasure County landscape, creating a fertile riparian corridor known as Pease Bottom. During this era of the early 1960s, the region's agricultural character is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, including the Main Canal, Re-Lift Canal, and a prominent Pumping Station. These waterworks supported the small settlement of Myers, situated alongside the Northern Pacific railroad at Myers Siding. North of the river, the terrain rises into the broad Mission Valley, accessed by the Mission Valley Road. This map provides a clear record of local community life through the presence of Rancher Ch and Rancher Sch, serving the families who farmed the river valley. The contrast between the irrigated bottomlands and the dissected coulees like Antelope Coulee illustrates the vital importance of the river to the area's development.
