About this map

The Missouri River meanders across the southwestern corner of this survey, defining a landscape where the high plateaus of Round Prairie and Hardscrabble meet the river's edge. A notable concentration of activity is centered around the Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site along the border of Roosevelt County, Montana, and Williams County, North Dakota. This area reflects a deep historical layer, where early trade routes transitioned into the established settlement of Snowden and local air traffic at the Stiehl Landing Strip.

Drainage patterns are clearly defined by numerous coulees, such as Riprap Coulee and Snowden Coulee, which cut through the high ground to reach the river basin. For those tracing regional ancestry or cemetery locations, the map identifies both Westview Cem and Mondak Cem, providing precise locations for these quiet landmarks. This 1989 photorevised edition incorporates updates to woodland and structures as they appeared in the early 1980s.
