About this map

Park Grove and Fort Peck sit at the strategic confluence of the Missouri River and Milk River, a landscape dominated by the massive hydraulic engineering of the twentieth century. The map illustrates the complex hydrography below the dam, where Milk Coulee Bay and Fort Peck Lake meet a network of islands and points including Scout Island and Jefferson Point.

Settlement patterns follow the river benches and coulees, from Fullerton Coulee to the residential streets of Fort Peck such as Yellowstone Rd and Marias Ave. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Fort Peck Cem and Galpin Cem provides vital reference points for family research in Valley Co and McCone Co. The presence of the Fort Peck Airport and specialized roads like Dam Svc Rd reflects the area's continued role as a center for regional infrastructure and aviation.
