1958 Map of Glasgow

About this map

The Glasgow townsite sits at a sharp bend of the Milk River, where the Great Northern railroad dictates the local geometry of streets and industry. This mid-century survey reveals a community organized around its civic and religious institutions, including the St Raphael Ch, St Raphael Sch, and South Side Sch. Beyond the primary residential core, the map shows Glasgow Highlands and the settlement at Paisley to the northwest. The landscape is heavily influenced by water management and transit, featuring the Vandalia South Canal and a prominent Road on Levee tracing the river's southern bank. Cultural landmarks of the era are clearly visible, from the Drive-in Theater and Sunnyside Golf Course to the City and County Airport, illustrating the post-war expansion of this Valley County hub.
