1966 Map of Cut Bank

About this map

Cut Bank Creek carves a deep valley through the high plains, serving as a natural boundary for the Blackfeet Indian Reservation while supporting the growing city of Cut Bank. In the late 1960s, the area reflects a transition from traditional ranching and railroading to an energy-based economy, evidenced by numerous scattered Gas Wells and Oil Wells across the plateau. The Great Northern railway remains the central pulse of the region, running through the heart of town past the Po and CH.
