2020 Map of Dent Bridge

About this map

The Teton River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of this Chouteau County landscape, creating a stark contrast with the high, dry plateaus above. The namesake Dent Bridge serves as a critical crossing point, connecting remote ranchlands via Dent Bridge Rd. This region is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, where features like Alkali Coulee feed into the river valley. The map reveals a systematic grid of land management and transportation, with long thoroughfares such as Mcauthur Rd and Russell Rd traversing the open range. In the northern reaches, the terrain levels out at Sample Flat, illustrating the transition from the river's broken breaks to the expansive benchlands of central Montana. Historical paths like Long Trl follow the natural contours of the ridges, while Prairie View Rd provides access across the central plains.
