1960 Map of Sanders

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Yellowstone River dominates this landscape as it meanders through the Mission Valley in south-central Montana. The small settlement of Sanders serves as a focal point for the region's transport and agriculture, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line. The map reveals an intricate system of water management essential to the high plains, featuring the Yellowstone Canal and several siphons. North of the river, the drainage patterns are defined by interestingly named tributaries like Six Mile to Death Creek and Roach Coulee, while to the south, an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Spring labels indicate former transit paths and vital water sources for livestock. This survey illustrates the transition from traditional rail-dependent commerce to early 1960s industrial activities, marked by Gravel Pits and a prominent Storage Bin.
