1986 Map of Toston

About this map

The Missouri River winds through the heart of this Broadwater County landscape, defining the character of the small settlement at Toston. By the mid-1980s, the area reflects a complex water management system essential for high-plains agriculture, evidenced by the Big Springs Canal Ditch, Westside Canal, and numerous other unnamed irrigation channels. These man-made waterways contrast with the natural drainage of Sixmile Creek and Crow Creek as they descend toward the river valley.
