1965 Map of Lima

About this map

Lima serves as a vital rail and ranching hub in southwestern Montana, positioned where the Union Pacific line follows the broad valley of the Red Rock River. The town's community infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the High Sch, the Rodeo Ground on the western edge, and the Mount Moriah Cem to the south. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including Willow Creek, Birch Creek, and Junction Creek, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the river. To the northeast, the terrain opens into the expansive Antelope Flat, while numerous Jeep Trails wind through the hills, indicating the importance of land access for local ranching and resource management. The map's detail, updated in the late 1970s, preserves the mid-century layout of this Beaverhead County settlement during a period of established mountain-basin commerce.
