About this map

The Milk River valley serves as the central artery for this mid-1960s study of North-Central Montana's development. At the heart of the map, Havre appears as a robust regional hub, its grid defined by educational institutions such as Northern Montana College and a series of neighborhood schools including Lincoln-McKinley Sch and Devlin Sch. The town's connection to the wider region is underscored by the presence of the Great Northern railroad, which parallels the river and supports the local economy.

Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into the distinctive coulees and buttes of the Montana plains. Named landmarks like Saddle Butte and Squaw Butte rise above the drainage systems of Beaver Creek and Bullhook Creek. This survey captures the town at a moment of mid-century growth, evident in the expansion of residential areas toward Highland Cem and the presence of suburban amenities like the Drive-in Theater and Radio Towers (KOJM) near the riverbanks.
