2017 Map of Townsend

About this map

The Missouri River carves a central path through this landscape, dividing the agricultural valley floor from the rugged rising terrain of the west. In the northeast, the waters of Canyon Ferry Lake meet the shoreline near Bedford, while the town of Townsend serves as the primary hub of settlement, organized around a traditional street grid. The local infrastructure reflects a deep history of transport and industry, evidenced by the Northern Pacific Train Bridge and the Townsend Bridge spanning the river. To the west, the topography transitions sharply into the NG MTA Limestone Hills, an area marked by dramatic elevation changes at Little Hogback. Local history is embedded in names like Old Womans Grave Rd and the Centerville Cem, which point to early pioneer routes and established communities that have shaped Broadwater County for generations.
