1955 Map of Fridley Peak

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the eastern valley of this mid-century survey, flanked by the Northern Pacific railroad and the small settlement of Merriman. This corridor represents the primary transit route through the region, where family-run operations like the Ox Yoke Ranch and agricultural outposts like Dailey established a foothold near the riverbanks. The map illustrates the transition from the irrigated valley floor to the high elevations of the Gallatin Range, featuring prominent landmarks such as Sleeping Giant Mountain and the high point at Fridley Peak.
