1980 Map of Broadview NE

About this map

The rolling grasslands of south-central Montana are defined here by the meeting of three counties—Golden Valley, Musselshell, and Yellowstone. The landscape is primarily shaped by the meandering courses of Painted Robe Creek and Spring Creek, which cut through the northern and western sections of the terrain. This 1980 edition illustrates a predominantly rural and utilitarian landscape, where modern infrastructure begins to leave its mark on the open country. A prominent Pipeline traverses the western hills, while scattered infrastructure like a Gravel Pit and several drill holes indicate localized industrial activity or resource exploration. The map serves as a detailed record of land use and drainage patterns in this high plains region during the late twentieth century.
