Montana's Historical Highway Markers

By Jon Axline

Over two hundred roadside markers scattered across the state recount Montana's colorful history. The fourth edition of Montana's Historical Highway Markers shares the text of these markers. Buffalo jumps, gold strikes, mining disasters, and famous battles all get their due, as do dinosaurs, epidemics, irrigation projects, railroads, wagon roads, and wilderness areas.

  • Easy-to-follow maps showing marker locations
  • New geological and Lewis and Clark entries
  • 80 historical photos, illustrations, plus a new color section of maps and Shorty Shope paintings
