1972 Map of Inverness

About this map

The town of Inverness serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in north-central Montana during the early 1970s. Situated along the Burlington Northern railway, the settlement's infrastructure includes a Wt (water tower) and Substa, reflecting its role as a regional transport and utility hub. The survey area straddles the boundary between Liberty and Hill Counties, showing a high-plains terrain characterized by deep drainage systems like Hingham Coulee and the East Fork Black Coulee. Small-scale aviation and local genealogy are well-represented by the presence of Landing Strips and two burial sites, Cem and the County Cem, located south of the main rail line. The straight line of a Pipeline cutting through the southern half of the quadrangle highlights the industrial utility networks crossing the prairie during this era.
