1981 Map of Westmore

About this map

The small settlement of Westmore sits along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line, serving as a focal point in this eastern Montana landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sandstone Creek and its many tributaries, including Hay Creek and O'Fallon Creek. This 1981 edition shows a region heavily dependent on subterranean water sources, indicated by numerous scattered Flowing Wells, Springs, and designated water points. The crossing of the Custer Co Fallon Co boundary line marks the western edge of the quadrangle. Aside from the railroad and a single Gravel Pit, the map reveals a land structured by section lines and fence lines rather than dense settlement, reflecting the ranching and agricultural character of the era.
