1954 Map of Gallatin Rapids

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Missouri River carves a sharp path through this portion of the Montana badlands, defining the border between Blaine County and Fergus County. In this mid-century landscape, the waterway is characterized by significant navigation hazards like the Gallatin Rapids and Dauphin Rapids. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the prominent Whiskey Ridge, a high plateau dissected by numerous drainages such as Dog Creek. The map records early industrial activity in this remote area, specifically at Oil Well Hill where a singular Oil Well is noted. Landmarks like Sugarloaf Rock, Leslie Point, and Jones Cone provide navigational reference points across the broken topography, while several triangulation stations, including VABM 3303 Gallatin, mark the highest elevations and the progress of the Missouri River Basin development program.
