1956 Map of Rapids

About this map

The Yellowstone River serves as the primary corridor of transport and irrigation in this 1950s landscape, flanked by the Northern Pacific railroad. The waterway is punctuated by landforms like Westover Island and bounded by steep terrain such as Wolf Canyon to the south. Small-scale agricultural and ranching infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Cove Ditch and a Gravel Pit near Wimsett Point. Rural life in this corner of Montana is anchored by local education landmarks, specifically the Cow Creek Sch and the Monahan Sch situated in the southern sections. This map records the transition from the river valley’s industrial rail lines to the winding drainages of Cole Creek and Cow Creek in the uplands.
