About this map

Fort Benton sits at a sharp bend in the Missouri River, serving as a focal point for this Chouteau County landscape. The river's path is defined by distinctive terrain features such as Roosevelt Island, Cottonwood Bottom, and a narrow passage known as The Canyon. To the north, the Teton River meanders toward its own confluence, passing beneath Chinaman Hill. This 2011 survey shows the established infrastructure of the community, including the Fort Benton Post Office, Chouteau County Memorial Bridge, and the Chouteau County Fairgrounds.

Transport and water management patterns are evident through the network of rural routes like Stagecoach Trl and Lower Teton Rd. Further out from the central settlement, smaller locales such as Kershaw and Tunis are noted alongside specialized sites like the Fort Benton Airport and Riverside Cemetery. The map also traces the winding course of Shonkin Creek, which is managed in the south by the Hankins Number 1 Dam.
