About this map

Livingston is defined by the sweeping curve of the Yellowstone River, which bifurcates around Livingston Island and Siebeck Island as it flows north through Park County. This mid-century survey captures the community’s infrastructure at a pivotal moment, showing the prominence of the Burlington Northern railroad corridors and key landmarks like Sacajawea Park and the Civic Center. The layout of the town is anchored by Front St, Main St, and Park St, supporting a local economy tied to transportation and ranching.

The surrounding hills are marked by numerous family-named properties, including the Mitchell Ranch (Aband) and Riffle Ranch, alongside several gravel pits that reflect the area's geological utility. Local history is preserved in sites such as Mountainview Cemetery and the Calvary Cem, while community institutions like North Side School and the KPRK radio tower highlight the social and technical development of this Montana settlement during the early 1950s.
