Bozeman Pass Montana USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1978 Vintage

$44

This USGS 15-minute series map is a 1951 edition, printed in 1978, and the physical sheet is in very good condition. It depicts the Bozeman Pass corridor along the Gallatin–Park county line, taking in portions of Gallatin National Forest and the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area, with Bozeman falling near the western edge of the sheet. The 1951 edition captures this mountain gateway before decades of suburban expansion out of Bozeman, making it a useful reference for anyone tracking land use change, researching the area’s ranching and railroad history, or studying the terrain of a passage that has carried travelers across the Rockies for centuries.
