1962 Map of Belfield

About this map

Belfield stands at the intersection of industry and prairie along the Northern Pacific railroad in the early 1960s. This survey illustrates a landscape undergoing modernization, notably marked by a long stretch of Proposed roadway cutting across the terrain north of the main settlement. The town itself is well-defined by its proximity to the Heart River and Coal Creek, which provide the primary drainage for this portion of the Billings and Stark County border. Cultural and community landmarks like St Stanislaus Cem and Truelson Sch offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The presence of numerous Scoria Pits and various Mines throughout the area, including sites near Six Mile Corner, underscores the region's reliance on geological resources during this era.
