1970 Map of Glengarry

About this map

Hanover and Glengarry anchor this portion of Fergus County, where the plains meet the rising topographic relief of the Montana interior. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, crossing numerous drainage features like Crow Coulee and Beaver Creek. The map documents a complex water management system essential to the region, including the McMillian Ditch and several instances of a Flowing Well. Distinctive geological and cultural landmarks such as Indian Rock, The Point, and The Gap provide specific points of interest for local historians. This 1970s record highlights the infrastructure of a rural community tied to the rails and the creek beds of Cottonwood Creek and Coyote Creek.
