About this map

The Yellowstone River carves a central path through this survey, creating a landscape defined by braided channels and prominent landmasses like Sacajawea Island and Livingston Island. In the city of Livingston, the mid-century footprint is highly detailed, showing a cluster of civic and educational life including the Lincoln School, Winans School, and the Civic Center. The influence of the Burlington Northern railroad is clear, anchoring the local economy alongside riverfront features like Sacajawea Park and the Park Drive-in Theater.

Beyond the urban center, the map reveals the ranching heritage of Park County. Family-named operations like the Tandy Ranch and Loyd Uhl Ranch are scattered across the hills, while sites like the Mitchell Ranch (Aband) and Slaughterhouse (Aband) indicate shifts in land use and settlement. For genealogists and local historians, the location of the Mountainview Cemetery and several rural graveyards provide essential data points for tracing early residents in this river valley.
