Object Description

Title	Analysis of the three operating irrigation units, Fort Peck Irrigation Project, Montana
Creator	Missouri River Basin Investigations Project
Subject	Irrigation farming -- Economic aspects; Indians of North America -- Irrigation
Description	This report presents the findings of the first in a series of studies relating to Indian resources of the Fort Peck Reservation. Land suitable for irrigation farming probably exceeds 100,000 acres on the reservation. Construction on the first irrigation unit began in 1908. Three irrigation units, having a total of 25,643 irrigable acres, are now active on the Fort Peck Reservation and occupy river bottom and low terrace lands near the Missouri River. This report presents plans for completing the water distribution system, placing present facilities in good operating condition, and providing a basic surface drainage system. The economic analysis in the report indicates that irrigation farming at Fort Peck is likely to yield best returns when associated with range livestock enterprises.
