1956 Map of Billings East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this mid-century look at Montana's growing rail and industrial hub, passing through a landscape defined by the steep Rimrocks and the prominent Sacrifice Cliff. The map reveals the expansion of Billings eastward toward Lockwood, with several Oil Refinery sites and the extensive Burlington Northern railyards marking the city's economic foundations. Rural heritage is visible in the network of irrigation infrastructure such as the Billings Bench Canal and McGirl Ditch, which supported the surrounding agriculture.
