1886 Map of Great Falls
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The confluence of the Missouri River and the Sun River anchors this late-nineteenth-century study of the Montana Territory. Originally surveyed by the Northern Transcontinental Survey, the landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Teton Ridge down into the river basins where Great Falls was just beginning to emerge as a regional hub. To the west, the military and missionary influence of the frontier era is visible at Fort Shaw and St. Peter's Mission, indicating the strategic importance of this corridor for travel and settlement.
