About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through this central Montana landscape, defining the intersection of Chouteau, Fergus, and Blaine counties. Navigation and river geography are central to this area, as evidenced by named river hazards like Holmes Rapids and McKeevers Rapids. The river is punctuated by several significant landforms, most notably Council Island and the Holmes Council Islands, which break the flow of the water as it moves eastward.

Upland from the river valley, the terrain is marked by a network of drainage features such as Dog Cr and remote access routes including Pn Bridge Rd and Wiskey Ridge Rd. The Winifred Bridge serves as a critical crossing point in this sparsely populated region. This map provides a detailed view of the complex county boundaries and township lines that organize this portion of the Missouri River Breaks.
