1955 Map of Whitebird School

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Stillwater River cuts through this Montana landscape, where 1950s water management is evidenced by a complex system of irrigation infrastructure. Central to the local community is the Whitebird School, standing near the banks where Whitebird Creek joins the main river channel. The reliance on river water for the surrounding valley is highlighted by several named gravity-fed systems, including the Whitebird Ditch, Scott Ditch, and the lengthy Shane Ditch that skirts the base of Shane Ridge. To the south, the terrain rises toward Joe Hill and is dissected by numerous drainages such as Mexican Joe Creek and Joe Hill Creek. This survey captures a rural Montana ranching and farming district defined by its hydrological modifications and prominent family-named landmarks.
