About this map

Townsend serves as the focal point of this Broadwater County landscape, where the Missouri River flows toward the southern reaches of Canyon Ferry Lake. The town's grid is detailed with civic landmarks like the Townsend Post Office and Townsend Fire Dept, while the Northern Pacific Train Bridge and Townsend Bridge provide critical crossings over the river. To the north lies the settlement of Bedford, connected by routes that skirt the edges of Kalamazoo Gulch.

Resource extraction and local transit define the outlying terrain, seen in the presence of the Little Hogback Mine and Wild Turkey Mine near the summit of Little Hogback. Historical roots are preserved at the Centerville Cemetery near New Mill Rd, while modern recreational use is evident at the Indian Road Campground and Roadrunner RV Park. From the industrial legacy of the mines to the essential water management of the Townsend Sewage Lagoon Dam, the map illustrates a community shaped by its river valley and the surrounding high ground.
