About this map

Glasgow serves as the regional hub at the convergence of the Milk River and Cherry Cr, anchoring this 2017 survey of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with the river meandering through a wide valley while intricate coulees like Richardson Coulee, Rock Coulee, and Martin Coulee carve into the surrounding uplands. The street grid of the town is bordered by the industrial corridor of Railroad Aly, reflecting the area's historical reliance on rail transport.

South and west of the city, the terrain transitions into ranching and agricultural lands accessed by a network of rural routes including Tampico Rd and Brazil Creek Rd. Water management is evident in the presence of the Mahan and Hoyt Reservoir and various creeks such as Brazil Cr and Little Brazil Cr. This edition captures the modern interface between the concentrated municipal development of the county seat and the sprawling riparian and coulee-dissected geography of the Montana interior.
