1996 Map of Waterloo

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Waterloo sits at the base of The Bench, where the Jefferson River winds through a landscape defined by ranching and irrigation in the late twentieth century. This survey illustrates the intricate water management required in Madison County, with man-made features like Parrot Ditch and Cornforth Ditch diverting flow alongside natural channels such as Parsons Slough. The terrain transitions sharply from the level river valley to the steep, forested slopes of the Deerlodge National Forest. In the higher elevations to the southeast, the history of extraction is evident at the Strawn Mine and various prospects near Mill Canyon and Bumby Gulch. The map also captures several family-named agricultural operations, including Silver Bow Ranch and White Rock Ranch, documenting the enduring rural character of this Montana valley.
