About this map

The Missouri River cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Snowden. This 2011 survey captures a rural Montana-North Dakota borderlands area defined by complex drainage systems and isolated landmarks. The northern reaches are drained by Horse Tied Creek and Deer Creek, while the central portion is carved by the long path of Cedar Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Mondak Cemetery and Westview Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the region's early residents. Significant infrastructure for this low-population area includes the Snowden Bridge crossing the Missouri and local aviation at Stiehl Field. Small-scale water management is evident at Iranian Dam and Nordell Dam, while the rugged geography is further detailed by numerous coulees, including Riprap Coulee and Garden Coulee, which shape the approach to the river valley.
