2024 Map of Calais

About this map

Calais sits along the northern banks of the Missouri River in this northeastern Montana landscape, where the high plains are carved by a complex network of seasonal drainages. The area is defined by the sharp transition from the river bottom to the elevated breaks, with Box Elder Creek and Lone Tree Creek cutting deep coulees through the terrain. Evidence of land management and transportation infrastructure is present through Bia Rte 1 and Co Rd 2053, which traverse the open country between the river and upland features like the Bertino Reservoir. This survey highlights the sparsely populated nature of the Roosevelt County and Richland County border, providing a clear record of the rural road network and hydrological patterns near the river's winding path.
