About this map

Canyon Ferry Lake dominates this landscape on the Missouri River corridor, reflecting the reservoir's character at the dawn of the 21st century. The map highlights a developed recreational and residential interface at Goose Bay, featuring a Landing Strip, Marina, Dock, and a Mobile Home Park. This settlement pattern illustrates the shift from a river-based valley to a modern reservoir-based economy, where lakefront access became a primary driver of local land use.

To the east, the terrain rises into the Helena National Forest, managed by the Townsend Ranger District. The geography is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Confederate Gulch and White Gulch that feed into the lake. Remote infrastructure like a Gravel Pit and isolated sites like White Earth provide specific touchpoints for local historians and land use researchers studying the transition between the lake shore and the forest uplands.
