2017 Map of Boggs Island

About this map

The Missouri River carves through this portion of Chouteau County, creating a dramatic landscape defined by deep erosional cuts and the prominent Boggs Island. The terrain is marked by numerous coulees that drain toward the river valley, including Dry Fork Coulee, Coal Banks Coulee, and Sixmile Coulee. These geographical features demonstrate the intricate drainage patterns of the northern plains, where seasonal runoff has sculpted the earth into a complex network of ridges and draws. Transportation in this rural expanse is limited to a few arterial routes such as Broadway and Gardiner Rd N, which traverse the high ground above the river breaks. Near the southern bend of the river, Virgelle Ferry Rd N provides access to the valley floor, hinting at the long history of river crossings and the local-road network that serves the ranching lands within t27n r11e and t26n r11e.
