1954 Map of Bell Ridge West

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Missouri River defines the southern boundary of this central Montana landscape, where the Phillips Co Fergus Co line crosses the water. Along its banks, several named lowlands like Kendall Bottoms, Mc Nulty Bottoms, and Gardipee Bottoms suggest a history of seasonal grazing and riverside activity. Much of the interior is dominated by the Fort Peck Game Range, a vast territory established to protect wildlife habitat in the Missouri River breaks. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Bell Ridge and Lost Ridge, which are dissected by numerous drainages including Duval Gulch and Slippery Ann Creek. Farther north, the presence of Kendall Cow Camp and several small stock tanks like Bell Reservoir reflect the region's enduring reliance on cattle ranching in the mid-1950s.
