2014 Map of Craig

About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep valley through this portion of Lewis and Clark County, shaping the settlement and transportation patterns of the region. The town of Craig sits along the river's western bank, serving as a focal point for local travel with the Craig Bridge and the Wegner Creek Bridge facilitating passage across the water and its tributaries. To the north, the infrastructure of the rail line is marked by Tunnel Number 3, which pierces the high ground near the river bend. The landscape is defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Eagle Rock and Brewer Hill to the drainage of Bray Gulch. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Craig Cemetery, located just northwest of the town center. Numerous named drainages like Stickney Creek, Dog Creek, and Burke Creek feed into the main river system, creating the complex topography that characterizes this Montana landscape.
