1968 Map of Thurlow

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path through this Rosebud County landscape, serving as the central artery for transportation and irrigation in the late 1960s. Along its northern banks, the Cartersville Canal parallels the river, feeding the agricultural valley near the small settlement of Thurlow. This area is a significant corridor of movement, where the historic Lewis and Clark Trail follows the river's southern curve, and two major rail lines, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Burlington Northern, dominate the valley floor. Away from the water, the terrain rises into complex coulees and breaks, marked by landmarks like Jack Creek Hill and seasonal drainages such as Bull Creek and Goose Creek. Small locales like Joppa and Flynn are noted near the southern tracks, illustrating the scattered ranching and rail-dependent settlement pattern of the era.
