About this map

The Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site anchors the southern boundary of this landscape, marking the historic confluence of trade and culture where the Missouri River crosses the Montana-North Dakota state line. The small settlement of Snowden serves as a focal point near the river, connected to the surrounding coulees and plateaus by the Snowden Bridge. This area is characterized by a network of drainage features like Riprap Coulee and Snowden Coulee, which define the rugged breaks leading down to the river valley.

Local history is preserved at the Mondak Cem, a reminder of the vanished border town of Mondak that once straddled the state line. Further north, the landscape transitions to high plains agriculture, dotted with landmarks like Stiehl Airport and the Westview Cem. Tributaries such as Horse Tied Cr and Deer Cr carve paths through the northern sections, illustrating the complex water-carved topography of the MonDak region.
