1953 Map of Carter

About this map

The Great Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary axis of development across this Montana landscape, connecting the small settlement of Carter to the wider grain-producing region. Surveyed during the early 1950s, the map reveals a prairie geography defined by deep drainage systems like Weatherwax Coulee and Bullhead Coulee that feed into the major waterways. The northern edge is traced by the Teton River, while the southern boundary follows the winding course of the Missouri River.
