1980 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose serves as the focal point for this landscape in Northwest Nebraska, situated just south of the border between South Dakota and Nebraska. The map documents a place of significant frontier memory, notably the site of the Warbonnet Battlefield Mon and the Cody-Yellowhand Battlefield Mon, marking events from the Indian Wars. The Immaculate Conception Ch and the Pioneer Cem reflect the spiritual and social foundations of the early cattle-ranching community. Much of the terrain falls within the Oglala National Grassland, where drainage systems like Hat Creek and Antelope Creek define the topography. The presence of the Burlington Northern railroad and established properties such as the Wasserburger Ranch and Raben Ranch illustrate the enduring agricultural and transit patterns of Sioux County.
