About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this study of Livingston, Montana, as it appeared before the turn of the 1980s. The landscape is defined by the river’s braids around Livingston Island and Siebeck Island, and a network of irrigation ditches and flumes serving the surrounding rangeland. Within the city, social and civic landmarks are prominently noted, from the High School and Winans School to the Civic Center and Sacajawea Park.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named property lines across the foothills, including the Ralph Uhl, Nelson Ranch, and Meredith Ranch. The importance of the Burlington Northern railroad corridor remains evident, as does the city's growth shown in purple photorevision. Distinctive local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Mountainview Cemetery provide specific points of interest for those tracking mid-century community development and family heritage sites.
