About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through this landscape, defining the character of Glendive during a period of mid-century growth. As the seat of Dawson County, the city shows a concentrated municipal core featuring the Courthouse and several educational institutions, including Dawson Co Jr College, County High Sch, and Jefferson Sch. The Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the river, supporting the local economy alongside irrigation infrastructure like the Main Canal.

Beyond the residential blocks and parks such as Lloyd Square Park, the terrain rises into the distinctive badlands of the Missouri River Basin. This area is marked by numerous broadcast facilities, including the Radio Tower (KXGN-TV), and scenic overlooks like Artists Vista Point and Eyeful Vista Point. The map also captures the early industrial footprint of the era, from the Settling Pond near the river to the various Drill Hole markers scattered across the high ground of Cains Coulee.
