About this map

The Yellowstone River winds through the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the character of the river valley as it transitions into the upland plains of Dawson County. Centered on the communities of Forest Park and West Glendive, the area shows a distinct mid-century and modern residential layout contrasted against the long-standing industrial presence of the Glendive Oil Field to the southwest. To the south lies the small settlement of Colgate, situated near the riverbanks.

Energy extraction and infrastructure dominate the terrain, with numerous rural routes such as Road 238 and Carlson Ranch Rd providing access to the expansive oil fields and outlying ranch lands. Local history is anchored at the Dawson Memorial Cemetery, while the hydrological network is marked by the drainages of Whoopup Creek and Sand Creek. The map also preserves the alignment of Old US Hwy 10, a remnant of the early cross-country highway system that preceded the modern interstate.
