1955 Map of Fridley Peak

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, where the high peaks of the Gallatin Range meet the valley of the Yellowstone River. The map highlights a transition from rugged alpine terrain, featuring numerous waterfalls like Palisade Falls and Grotto Falls, to the agricultural and transportation corridor in the southeast. Along the river, the Northern Pacific railroad tracks run parallel to the water, passing near the settlement of Merriman and the Historical Marker at the edge of the valley.
