About this map

The settlement of Vaughn serves as a central hub in this landscape where the winding Muddy Creek joins the Sun River. This 1994 edition reveals a community defined by its irrigation infrastructure and agricultural roots, evidenced by the Sun River Valley Ditch and numerous Feedlot operations throughout the valley floor. To the south, Taft Hill rises above the river plain, while the local Rodeo Ground and a prominent Water Tank mark the social and utility centers of the township.

Transportation history is visible through the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain, indicating a shift in the region's connectivity over time. Industrial and municipal footprints are clearly noted, from the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the river bend to a scattered network of Gravel Pit sites. These features, along with a Radio Tower and Pumping Sta, provide a detailed look at the rural utilities supporting the area during the late twentieth century.
