About this map

Park Grove and the town of Fort Peck occupy a strategic landscape where the Missouri River meets the massive engineering of the Fort Peck Lake reservoir system. The local geography is defined by the transition from the river valley to the surrounding plateaus, marked by features such as Tiger Butte and the northern reaches of McCone Co across the water. A dense network of local roads including Galpin Rd and Tiger Butte Rd provides access to the scattered settlements and the Fort Peck Airport.

Researchers will find important genealogical and community sites like Galpin Cem and Fort Peck Cem. The map detail shows the intricate hydrography of the region, from the Milk River in the northeast to several named islands within the reservoir, such as Duck Island and Scout Island. Recreational and environmental management areas are also visible, including the Fort Peck Trout Pond situated just north of the Park Grove residential area.
