1965 Map of Southeast Great Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Coal mining and military aviation define the landscape south of Great Falls in the mid-1960s. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the industrial legacy of the Sand Coulee coal field, where clusters of Mines and Air Shafts surround the small mining settlements of Tracy, Centerville, and Number Seven. This region, carved by Sand Coulee and Walker Creek, shows a concentration of resource extraction including the Spring Mines and various Gravel Pits adjacent to the Great Northern railway line. To the north, the burgeoning presence of Malmstrom Air Force Base and residential parks like Russell Park signal the expansion of the urban center onto Gibson Flats. The presence of the Sand Coulee Cem and the (Lavin Spur) rail line provides specific points of interest for genealogists and industrial historians tracing the migration patterns and economic development of Cascade County.
