1954 Map of Roundup

About this map

The Musselshell River carves a path through this central Montana landscape, where the high peaks of the Big Snowy Mountains and Little Snowy Mountains dominate the northern horizon. In the mid-1950s, this region remained a vital corridor for western rail transport, anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Great Northern lines. These tracks connected ranching hubs like Harlowton and Roundup to larger markets, while also serving smaller sidings such as Shawmut and Judith Gap.
