Biographical Note
In 1935, almost a fourth of the population of Montana, or about 137,000 persons were
dependent upon some form of federal, state, or county relief assistance. The Work Projects
Administration (originally the Works Progress Administration) was established in 1935. Its
function was to provide jobs to unemployed workers on public projects sponsored by federal,
state, or local agencies.
The Township Plats for Gallatin County consist of hand-drawn maps done by the Works
Progress Administration. These maps show land ownership, operating units, and land use for
Gallatin County, Montana. Arranged by township and range numbers, the maps show little
detail other than color coded parcels with owner identification and acreage numbers.
