About this map

Glasgow serves as the hub of this Valley County landscape, where the Milk River carves a winding path through the northern plains. The city’s grid is anchored by the Valley County Courthouse and extends north toward the Wokal Field/Glasgow International Airport. Modern transportation and commerce are defined by the BNSF Railway and the Railroad Aly, which parallel the river's course.

Evidence of sophisticated prairie water management is visible throughout the quadrangle, notably the Vandalia-South Canal and the Mahan and Hoyt Reservoir. These irrigation features, alongside numerous coulees like Rock Coulee and Martin Coulee, illustrate the adaptation of the landscape for agriculture. The map also captures the intricate drainage network formed by Cherry Creek, Brazil Creek, and Willow Creek as they converge toward the Milk River valley.
