Billings, Montana, in 1915 was a railroad town that had grown up around the Northern Pacific line, and this panoramic view captures it from a vantage point that shows how much of the town's street grid and rail infrastructure was taking shape at once. Panoramic photographs of Western towns from this era were often made by traveling photographers and sold to residents and civic boosters, who used them to show growth and prosperity. The Yellowstone River valley and the surrounding sandstone bluffs frame the settlement, and the image is worth studying for the relationship between the town's rail yards and its early commercial blocks.
