About this map

Fort Peck sits at the northern edge of the Missouri River's massive impoundment, serving as a focal point for this landscape defined by the convergence of the Missouri River and the Milk River. The town's grid is detailed with street names such as N Bighorn St, Yellowstone Rd, and Missouri Ave, indicating the planned nature of this settlement. Just to the north, Park Grove and the Fort Peck Trout Pond highlight the recreational and residential development following the dam's creation.

Tracing the waterways, one finds Scout Island and Duck Island positioned within the river channels, while the northern terrain is marked by the deep incisions of Galpin Coulee and Fullerton Coulee. Genealogical interests are served by the presence of Ft Peck Cem and Galpin Cem, providing fixed points for local family histories. The presence of the Fort Peck Airport and major routes like Galpin Rd and Tiger Butte Rd demonstrate the modern infrastructure connecting this remote corner of Valley and McCone Counties.
