2024 Map of Chain Buttes

About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide path through this northern Missouri landscape, marking the boundary between Phillips and Petroleum counties. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the UL Bend National Wildlife Refuge and the UL Bend Wilderness, where the river expands into the upper reaches of Fort Peck Lake. This terrain is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, with numerous coulees such as Garden Coulee and Hawley Creek feeding into the main channel from the north.
