1968 Map of Malta East

About this map

The settlement of Malta serves as the focal point for this late-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of the Burlington Northern railroad and the winding Milk River. This area of Phillips County illustrates the essential role of water management in the northern plains, featuring an extensive network including the Dodson South Canal and Drabbels Reservoir. The town's local amenities at this time are clearly marked, including a Rodeo Ground, a Cem, and a Drive-in Theater located on the southern edge of the community. Outside the town center, the terrain is carved by natural drainage features like Morton Coulee and Gonzales Coulee, while several Gravel Pits indicate the local extractive industry that supported the region's infrastructure during this era.
