1954 Map of Glendive

About this map

The Yellowstone River and Missouri River define the eastern edge of this mid-century landscape, where river commerce meets the vast agricultural reaches of Eastern Montana. The confluence of these water systems near Andes and Gettysburg Ridge highlights a region built on livestock and grain production, anchored by rural hubs like Circle, Richey, and Brockway. The mapping captures the critical role of rail transport, showing the Northern Pacific and Great Northern lines facilitating movement through the river valleys.
