1951 Map of Livingston

About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this 1951 study of the Park County area, where the waterway splits around Livingston Island and Siebeck Island as it passes the regional hub of Livingston. The town's grid is dense with civic landmarks, including the Court House, City Hall, and several educational facilities like the North Side School and Winans School. To the east and west, the landscape is defined by the legacy of early Montana ranching, with family names appearing on properties such as Perry Ranch, Tandy Ranch, and the Mitchell Ranch (Aband). Industrial and transportation infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Northern Pacific railroad tracks and the Livingston Airport. This survey captures a moment of established settlement where agriculture and mountain hydrology meet, evidenced by the network of irrigation ditches and flumes near Dry Creek and Fleshman Creek.
