The Missouri River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument on the border of Blaine and Fergus counties. This landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, where the river sits over a thousand feet below the high plateaus of Pendell Ridge and Ervin Ridge. Navigation along this protected stretch of the Missouri Wild and Scenic River is marked by the turbulent waters of Bird Rapids and Magpie Rapids, which remain significant landmarks for river travelers today.
