1955 Map of Reed Point

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this mid-century landscape, serving as the primary corridor for both the Northern Pacific railroad and irrigation infrastructure like the Reed Point Ditch. The settlement of Reed Point (Reedpoint PO) acts as the central hub of activity along the northern bank, where the local economy was tied to the river and rail lines. Away from the water, the terrain rises toward Monument Butte, revealing a rural landscape defined by ranching and small-scale education at the White Beaver Sch.
