About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping path through this Chouteau County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Fort Benton. As a vital point of navigation and trade, the town is shown with a grid of streets including Front St and River St, leading toward The Canyon. The convergence of the Teton River and the Missouri creates a complex series of riparian environments, such as Cottonwood Bottom and the mid-river Roosevelt Island.

Beyond the town center, the map reveals the transition into the surrounding plains and coulees. Notable landmarks like Chinaman Hill and the Riverside Cem sit alongside transportation routes that reflect both modern and historical movement, from the Fort Benton Airport to the appropriately named Stagecoach Trl. The smaller settlement of Kershaw is positioned west of the main bend, where the landscape begins its ascent into the high country and broken terrain of the river breaks.
