USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Belle Fourche River valley serves as the agricultural and industrial backbone of this northern plains landscape during the early 1950s. Centered on the town of Newell, the map documents a sophisticated irrigation network vital to the region's ranching and farming operations, including the Calhoun Ditch and numerous named laterals like the Mc Lung Lateral and Baldwin Lateral. This system, managed in part through the Newell Experiment Station, transformed the semi-arid terrain of Butte County into a productive corridor.
