About this map

Piedmont and Vendome stand at the intersection of early transportation routes and the high-desert irrigation networks of Jefferson County. This landscape is defined by the Jefferson River and an intricate system of water management, including the Jefferson Canal, Pleasant Valley Ditch, and Creeklyn Ditch, which support the agricultural life of the valley. The map documents the enduring paths of the Stage Coach Rd and Old Stage Coach Rd, tracing the historical movement through the region before modern infrastructure.

Genealogists will find particular value in the Fish Creek Cem and Jackrabbit Lane, located south of Fish Creek. The map also captures the varied terrain of the foothills, from the depths of Cedar Gulch to the wetlands of the Piedmont Swamp. These features, along with names like Renova and the border with Silver Bow County, illustrate a Montana community shaped by its proximity to Butte and its reliance on the river's water.
