About this map

Valier sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, anchored by the expansive waters of Lake Frances. The town's layout reflects a mid-century period of local utility and transport, featuring the Valier Municipal Airport and a prominent Sub Station at its edge. A complex network of irrigation, including the A N 2 Canal and various unnamed canals, cuts across the terrain, illustrating the vital role of water management in this Pondera County agricultural corridor.

To the east, the rural character is defined by the Winginaw Valley and the winding course of Winginaw Coulee, where the small settlement of Williams is situated. This 1985 survey documents a landscape of transition, where natural features like Bullhead Creek and scattered springs meet industrial markers such as a Radio Tower and a Gravel Pit. The map provides a clear record of the area's infrastructure, from a substantial Levee to the numerous wells and pipelines that support the region's ranching and farming operations.
