1987 Map of Bozeman

About this map

The city of Bozeman and the sprawling campus of Montana State University anchor this detailed survey, captured during a period of steady growth in the late 1980s. The urban grid is defined by historical landmarks like the Fairground, the Athletic Field, and the Sunset Hills Cemetery, while the surrounding landscape reflects a complex hydraulic system managed through the West Gallatin Canal and Farmers Canal. To the north and east, the terrain rises toward Sypes Canyon and the Bridger Range, where Lyman Creek Reservoir and numerous mountain streams like Sypes Creek and Bridger Creek descend toward the valley floor.
