1963 Map of Musselshell

About this map

The Musselshell River winds through a landscape of high prairie and coulees, defining the geography of the central Montana plains in the early 1960s. The settlement of Musselshell serves as the focal point, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. This rail-and-river corridor supported a agricultural and industrial network, including storage bins, a Gaging Sta, and an Athletic Field. Further west, the locale of Goffena marks a distinct point of interest for local historians.
