About this map

Livingston serves as the focal point of this 1951 survey, situated at a strategic bend where the Yellowstone River meets the mountain foothills. The town's grid is dominated by the Northern Pacific railroad infrastructure and a vibrant mid-century civic core, featuring the Civic Center, the East Side School, and the Sacajawea Drive-in Theater. Beyond the developed center, the landscape is defined by the braided channels of the river, creating large landmasses like Livingston Island and Siebeck Island.

Rural life in the surrounding valley is marked by a high density of named family holdings, including the Tandy Ranch, Nelson Ranch, and Meredith Ranch. The transition of the local economy is evident in the inclusion of the Livingston Airport and several industrial features like the Gravel Pit and various irrigation ditches. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for the Mountainview Cemetery and the Calvary Cem.
