About this map

Glen Ullin serves as the central hub of this 1960 survey, situated at the confluence of the Northern Pacific railroad and a developing highway network. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Big Muddy Creek and its tributaries, which carve through a terrain marked by distinctive high points like Horseshoe Butte, Rocky Ridge, and Spring Butte. This era captures a moment of significant infrastructure transition, with Interstate 94 Under Construction visible across the northern section of the map, promising new connectivity for the region.

Local rural life is well-documented through the placement of schoolhouses and landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Tavis Sch No 8 and Curlew Sch No 3, alongside a local Cemetery and the Glen Ullin Airport. The presence of a small Mine and various creek systems like Haymarsh Creek and Spring Valley Creek illustrate the intersection of the natural water-driven geography and the early 20th-century industrial footprint.
