2020 Map of Whitebird School

About this map

The Stillwater River carves a deep valley through this portion of Stillwater County, providing the primary corridor for agricultural activity and transit. Irrigation infrastructure, vital to the local ranching economy, is clearly mapped through systems like the Whitebird Ditch, Shane Ditch, and Joe Hill Ditch. These waterways support the homesteads and ranches that dot the landscape between the river and the high elevation of Shane Ridge. The terrain is further defined by numerous coulees, such as Porter Coulee and Norve Coulee, which channel runoff from the surrounding heights toward the river. Local landmarks like Firemans Point and the location of Swinging Bridge Rd indicate a landscape where geography dictates movement and settlement. Landowners and researchers can trace the reach of tributary waters like Whitebird Cr and Mexican Joe Cr across the township and range lines.
