1954 Map of Lewistown

About this map

The Judith Mountains dominate the central landscape of this Montana survey, rising sharply above the high plains of Fergus County Petroleum County. This region reflects a complex mid-century balance between agricultural ranching and protected wildlands. The Missouri River cuts a deep path across the north, bordering the Charles M Russell National Wildlife Range and the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. To the south, the city of Lewistown serves as a regional hub, anchored by the infrastructure of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Great Northern railroads.
