About this map

The Missouri River anchors this central Montana landscape, winding through a broad corridor flanked by the Chestnut Valley and Lower Chestnut Valley. The town of Cascade serves as the primary hub, situated near the riverbanks and the distinctive rising terrain of Cascade Butte. This survey highlights the local infrastructure of the modern era, from the residential streets of the town to the recreational and utility features like Cascade Field and the Cascade Reservoir.

Away from the river, the terrain shifts into the higher elevations of Antelope Flat and the geological prominence of Rocky Reef to the northwest. The drainage network is well-defined by Little Muddy Creek and Bird Creek, illustrating how the hydrology dictated the placement of long-standing travel routes like Old US Hwy 91 and the subsequent Frontage Rd. Local history is preserved at Hillside Cem, which overlooks the valley near the town center.
