This USGS topographic map of the Gallup City quadrangle in north-central Montana comes from a 1938 edition, printed in 1976 on thick paper stock at a scale of 1:62,500. The 15-minute sheet covers about 12 by 17 miles of Pondera and Teton county land roughly 55 miles northwest of Great Falls, taking in the area around Agawam and Benton Bench. The terrain here is open plains country below the Rocky Mountain Front, mapped from 1936 and 1938 field survey work. Never folded and in excellent condition, it would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Gallup City 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1936 and 1938. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
