1972 Map of Rudyard NW

About this map

The rolling plains of north-central Montana appear in this early 1970s survey, capturing the agricultural landscape where Liberty Co and Hill Co meet. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Fourmile Coulee and O' Brien Coulee, which cut through the high prairie toward the Milk River valley. Settlement in this area is sparse, primarily composed of isolated farmsteads and ranch structures linked by a network of sectional roads and fence lines. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include the Bethel Cem in the southeastern corner, serving as a permanent record of the families who settled this wheat-growing region. A solitary Radio Tower stands on the southern portion of the sheet, reflecting the mid-century infrastructure required to connect these remote northern townships.
