1958 Map of Glasgow

About this map

The Milk River meanders sharply across this landscape, defining the northern geography of Glasgow and its surrounding agricultural plains during the late 1950s. The city serves as a regional hub, anchored by the Great Northern railroad and civic landmarks like the Courthouse and Deaconess Hospital. To the south and west, the influence of irrigation is evident through the Vandalia South Canal and the complex Siphon system, which supported the local ranching and farming economy. Notable local social and recreational markers include the Sunnyside Golf Course and a Drive-in Theater situated north of the city center. Smaller settlements and neighborhoods such as Paisley and South Side appear alongside vital infrastructure like the City and County Airport, reflecting a period of mid-century growth in Valley County.
