1956 Map of Rimrock

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Rimrocks formation dominates the central landscape of this Yellowstone County survey, creating a sharp topographical divide between the upland plateaus and the valley floor. In the mid-1950s, this area functioned as a critical corridor for transport and irrigation, evidenced by the parallel tracks of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads. These rail lines follow the path of Canyon Creek, while a network of water management features like the Great Northern Ditch and Big Snow Ditch supported the local agricultural economy.
