About this map

The Missouri River carves through the northern landscape of the borderlands where Montana and North Dakota meet. This geographic intersection is anchored by the Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, a location of significant historical commerce and diplomacy. Further south, the map details the agricultural infrastructure essential to this region, including the Main Canal and Nohly Lake.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around the communities of Nohly, Dore, and the northern edge of Fairview, where the Fairview Cem is situated. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage features like Garden Coulee and Figley Coulee which lead toward the river valley. Transportation across the water is marked by the Snowden Bridge, a critical crossing point in an area otherwise defined by sprawling township lines and rural routes like Co RD 137 and 35th St.
