This collection is a sub-subgroup under the Montana Department of Transportations records, RS 492. The Right of Way Bureau operates under the DOT Engineering Division. To see the other Department of Transportation records, visit the primary finding aid, RS 492.

Please note there are two distinct collections for the Right of Way Bureau, RS 90 and RS 419. These collections were initially processed separately and have not yet been integrated. Please visit RS 90 to view more Right of Way Bureau records.

This collection consists primarily of subject files containing deeds to lands purchased by the Department of Highways in order to complete highways projects. The deeds in boxes 42 and 43 represent later additions to the Right-of-Way Bureau records, and thus are out of chronological order. Deeds in Box 42 consist primarily of deeds made by land owners, between 1912 and 1960, to the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railway Company, and the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Puget Sound Railway Company.
