About this map

Missouri River oxbows and the expansive valley of Big Muddy Creek dominate this 1969 topographic study of eastern Montana. The town of Culbertson serves as the regional hub, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor just north of the county line between Roosevelt Co and Richland Co. The landscape reveals a mix of agricultural infrastructure and early industrial markers, including an Airport with its Airway Beacon, a local Rodeo Ground, and scattered Oil Wells.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites such as Hillside Cem overlooking the town and Bauer Cem further west near the small settlement of Blair. The presence of a Radio Facility and a Mine north of the river suggest the mid-century development patterns of this high plains community. Notable rural routes like Damm Road connect the outlying drainage of Scott Creek to the river valley centers.
