About this map

Chelsea sits at the southern edge of this Missouri River landscape, where the braided channels of the Chelsea Slough and the landform of Chelsea Island define the riparian environment. This 2024 survey documents a territory shaped by the winding course of Boxelder Creek, which meanders from the north to join the larger river system. The settlement patterns are Sparse, but the presence of three distinct burial grounds—Chelsea Cem, Box Elder Cem, and Saint Ann's Cem—indicates the deep-rooted local history and community ties in this part of Roosevelt County.

Transportation is defined by a network of local roads and designated routes such as Red Thunder Rd and Bia Rte 1. These corridors cross the drainages of Chelsea Creek and Boxelder Creek, connecting the high plains terrain with the lower river valley. The map provides a contemporary look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, including townships t28n r49e and t28n r50e, which organize this rural Montana landscape.
