2017 Map of Cow Island

About this map

Cow Island sits as a prominent landform within the winding course of the Missouri River, marking a significant point of interest in this section of the Montana breaks. The landscape is defined by the intersection of several regional watercourses, including Cow Creek, Bull Creek, and the curiously named Kills At Night Creek. This survey captures the complex drainage patterns of the area, where Cabin Creek and Woodhawk Creek carve through the terrain toward the river valley. The map documents the convergence of multiple county lines, illustrating where Blaine County meets both Fergus and Phillips counties along the river's edge. The detailed contouring provides a clear view of the deep coulees and breaks that characterize this stretch of the Missouri, reflecting the area's geography at the start of the 21st century.
