About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping path through this northern Montana landscape, marking a significant physical and cultural boundary between Roosevelt, Valley, and McCone counties. Much of the northern terrain is defined by the southern reaches of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, where the land transitions from high prairie plateaus into the deeply etched coulees of East Fork Flynn Creek and Littleman Creek. The map documents a complex water management system including the Main Canal, which parallels the river bottoms to support local agriculture.

Evidence of early community life is clustered near the river plain, notably the Oswego Ch and the Oswego Cem. These landmarks, along with a secondary Cem, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing families in this part of the Missouri River breaks. River navigation and shoreline points are further identified by markers like Littleman LB and Littleman RB, indicating the historical importance of the river as a transportation corridor.
