1967 Map of Worden

About this map

The Yellowstone River and the Burlington Northern railroad corridor define the economic landscape of this Yellowstone County region in the late 1960s. The neighboring settlements of Worden and Ballantine serve as the primary hubs, linked by the Huntley Main Canal which irrigation infrastructure has clearly shaped for agricultural use. While the northern half of the map follows the river's path and the rail line, the southern portion transitions into the broken terrain of Custer Coulee and Arrow Creek. Historic transit routes are evident here, with the Lewis and Clark Trail cutting across the landscape, paralleling the modern rail and road infrastructure. This period shows a functional rural layout including a Landing Strip and local resource extraction at a Borrow Pit, illustrating the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin.
