About this map

The Missouri River carves a path through this borderland region, where the state lines of Montana and North Dakota meet along the boundary of Roosevelt and Williams counties. This terrain is defined by its deep drainage patterns, featuring numerous coulees such as Riprap Coulee and Garden Coulee that feed toward the river valley. The settlement of Snowden serves as a focal point near the river, connected by the Snowden Bridge and the Bainville-Snowden Rd, illustrating the critical role of river crossings in the regional transport network.

Historical significance is centered on the Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site located in the southeastern corner. This area preserves the legacy of the western fur trade at the confluence of major waterways. Further north and east, the map details rural infrastructure including the Stiehl Airport and several cemeteries, such as Westview Cem and Mondak Cem, which mark the sites of early communities like Mondak near the state border.
