1954 Map of Great Falls

About this map

The Missouri River and Sun River converge at Great Falls, serving as the industrial and logistical anchor for this mid-century Montana landscape. Hydroelectric development is evident along the river's descent at Rainbow Dam and Cochrane Dam, while the sprawling Malmstrom Air Force Base highlights the era's military footprint east of the city. The surrounding plains are defined by extensive benchlands, such as the Greenfield Bench and Truly Bench, which support a network of small agricultural settlements and rail stops like Dutton, Fairfield, and Geraldine.
