About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep, winding channel through the northern reaches of this Montana landscape, marking the convergence of Blaine, Fergus, and Phillips counties. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where geography is defined by significant drainage systems, notably Two Calf Cr and its S Fork Two Calf Cr. The high, dissected plateau south of the river is punctuated by the Baker Monument, a prominent topographical landmark that overlooks the intricate network of coulees and ridges typical of the Missouri Breaks region.

Human activity is concentrated along the limited road network, such as Middle Two Calf Rd, and at the isolated Heller Farm Airport situated near the river's edge. The map captures the remote character of the Missouri River corridor, showing how natural waterways like Woodhawk Cr continue to shape the land use and accessibility of this rugged area on the border of the Fort Belknap and Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge vicinity.
