About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep, winding path through this Chouteau County landscape, protected as part of the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. This 2024 survey documents the dramatic transition from the plateau down into the breaks, where seasonal drainages like Butcher Knife Canyon and Sherry Coulee cut through the high plains. The terrain is dominated by the prominent Eagle Buttes to the northeast, rising above the river corridor.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement remains at the southern edge of the map, centered on the Graceville Cem near Graceville Rd. While modern local roads like Hole In Wall Rd and Graceville Rd N provide access, much of the area remains defined by the river's designation as the Missouri Wild and Scenic River. The legendary Hole in the Wall landmark along the riverbank stands as a primary point of interest for those navigating this protected reach of the waterway.
