1965 Map of Southwest Great Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through this landscape, creating a series of prominent features like Big Bend and Fisher Island. To the north, the growing urban footprint of Great Falls is evident, centered around the College of Great Falls and several health facilities including Deaconess Hospital and the County Hospital. The area reflects a mid-century shift in transportation and industry, with the Burlington Northern line active while an Old RR Grade hints at earlier rail alignments. Aviation history is prominent on the Sun River Bench, where Great Falls International Airport, Gore Field, and an Air National Guard base overlook the river valley. Further south, the terrain becomes more rural, punctuated by scattered settlements like Goodwin and numerous Gravel Pits that suggest the region's extraction-based economy.
