The winding Milk River valley defines the character of this 1960s Blaine County landscape, where the small settlement of Zurich sits as a vital point along the Great Northern railroad line. This survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, illustrates a complex irrigation infrastructure designed to manage the arid plains. Systems such as the Fort Belknap Canal, Paradise Valley Canal, and Hillside Ditch lace the river bottomlands, supporting the region's agricultural heartbeat. North of the river, the terrain breaks into sharp coulees like Coal Coulee and Fifteenmile Creek. To the south, the North Fork Sch and the Hebbelman Landing Field provide evidence of the scattered rural community's infrastructure during the mid-20th century.
