About this map

Havre serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the Great Northern railroad tracks parallel the winding course of the Milk River. The town's institutional growth is evident through numerous educational sites, including Northern Montana College, Central High Sch, and several neighborhood schools like Highland Park Sch and Lincoln-McKinley Sch. The mapping detail extends to the surrounding prairie, showing a network of coulees and creeks such as Beaver Creek and Bullhook Creek feeding into the valley.

Industrial and community landmarks are scattered throughout the region, from the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal near the river to the Fairground on the western edge of town. Topographic markers like Squaw Butte and Saddle Butte rise above the plains, providing natural orientation points. For those researching family history, the inclusion of Highland Cem and various residential blocks offers a precise look at the community's footprint before later expansion.
