2020 Map of Dore

About this map

Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site anchors this landscape at the intersection of the Missouri River and the Montana-North Dakota state line. This borderland region is defined by the fertile bottomlands and complex coulees surrounding the river, where early twentieth-century irrigation efforts are visible through the Main Canal. The small settlements of Nohly and Dore serve as local landmarks alongside significant historical footprints like the Snowden Bridge. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the proximity of Fort Buford Cem and Fairview Cem, which speak to the long-standing military and pioneer presence at this strategic river junction. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage systems of Garden Coulee and Figley Coulee as they descend toward the river valley.
