2017 Map of Forest Park

About this map

The Yellowstone River winds along the eastern edge of this Dawson County landscape, framing a region defined by its transition from prairie flats to organized settlements. In the northeast, West Glendive and Forest Park represent the primary residential hubs, while the smaller locality of Colgate sits further south along the riverbank. The terrain is marked by expansive high ground such as Pleasant View Flat, which is dissected by several seasonal drainages including Upper Sevenmile Cr, Sand Cr, and Whoopup Cr. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated near the river corridor, where the Dawson Memorial Cem is located just off the primary transportation routes. The map documents a network of named rural roads like Carlson Ranch Rd and Old Hwy 200, illustrating how ranching and river access shaped the modern development of these Montana communities.
