About this map

Missouri Valley serves as a central hub of agricultural development in this 1952 study, defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management. The landscape is carved by the Pilot Canal and the Riverton Valley Canal, which redirect water across the arid terrain to support the farms along Missouri Valley Road. This system of lateral ditches and siphons illustrates the mid-century engineering required to sustain life and industry in the Fremont County interior. The northern boundary of the Wind River Indian Reservation meets the valley floor, where the Missouri Valley Church and several quarries indicate a settled rural community. Natural drainage through Fivemile Creek and Sand Gulch contrasts with the straight lines of the man-made canals, while a Landing Field and multiple Gaging Sta markers suggest the era's reliance on both aviation and precise hydrological monitoring.
