1951 Map of Bozeman Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Bridger Range and Gallatin Range converge at this vital mountain crossing during the early 1950s, showing a landscape defined by historic transit and extraction. The Northern Pacific railroad winds through the center of the sheet, punctuated by the Bozeman Tunnel and the Bozeman Pass Beacon, marking the path of commerce and travel over the divide. Near the settlement of Chestnut, a concentrated industrial history is visible through numerous workings like the Mountainside Mine and the Coke Ovens (Ruins), indicating the region's former reliance on coal processing. Rural life is anchored by a network of one-room schoolhouses and family holdings, including Malmborg School, La Motte School, and the Thomae Ranch. To the west, the Fort Ellis Historical Marker and the Federal Fish Hatchery sit near the East Gallatin River, where the valley floor begins to open toward the Gallatin basin.
