About this map

The Missouri Wild and Scenic River carves a winding path through the northern portion of this Fergus County landscape, where the deep drainage of Reed Coulee meets the river's southern bank. This contemporary survey captures a protected wilderness area dominated by the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, a region defined by its complex network of coulees and ridges that descend toward the water. Settlement remains sparse, with the Miller Farm Airport standing as one of the few developed landmarks in the northeast corner near the Blaine and Phillips county lines.

Evidence of ranching and remote transit is found along Middle Two Calf Rd, which provides access through the rugged breaks toward the Two Calf Creek drainage. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Barnes Ridge and Reppe Butte, which overlook the seasonal flows of Bakers Spring and the South Fork Two Calf Creek. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of federal conservation lands and private holdings in this remote section of central Montana.
