1972 Map of Goldstone

About this map

Milk River and the deeply eroded drainage of Kennedy Coulee dominate this landscape along the international boundary between the Canada United States border. This 1970s survey captures the high plains of northern Hill Co, Montana, where the terrain transitions from the winding river valley to the plateau above. Settlement is sparse, characterized by the remote outpost of Goldstone and the family-named site of Christianson. Genealogists and local historians will find the St Wenceslaus Cem in the northeastern quadrant, a significant landmark in this rural ranching region. The map also delineates the Rudyard Road, the primary terrestrial artery connecting these isolated northern settlements to the larger rail and trade centers further south.
