1954 Map of Cow Island

About this map

Missouri River waters wind through this mid-century survey of the Montana Breaks, a landscape defined by sharp coulees and remote family outposts. The Kip Homestead stands as a lonely marker of human settlement on the north bank, positioned near the significant bend that holds Cow Island. This landform historically served as a critical crossing point and steamboat landing during the height of river travel, though by the 1950s, the terrain was primarily accessed by a network of rugged paths like the Jeep Trail.
