1979 Map of Belmont

About this map

Belmont stands as a rail-centered community in Golden Valley County during the late 1970s, situated along the Burlington Northern line. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Painted Robe Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which cut through the high plains terrain. A notable engineering feature on this sheet is the Painted Robe Tunnel, where the rail line pierces the local topography. This 1979 survey captures the area’s infrastructure, including a long diagonal Pipeline and scattered resources like a Gravel Pit and Alkali Pond. The map also delineates the convergence of county boundaries, including the Golden Valley Co and Stillwater Co and Golden Valley Co and Yellowstone Co lines, providing a detailed look at the rural land divisions and water sources that supported this agricultural and industrial corridor.
