About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through this Montana landscape, where the settlement of Hardy serves as a focal point for local transportation and river access. The transit corridor is defined by Old US Highway 91 and several rail features, including Tintinger Siding and Gilmore Siding, which historically supported the movement of goods and passengers through the canyon. The complexity of the river crossing is evident at Hardy Bridge and the nearby Tunnel Number 1, marking where the infrastructure must contend with the dramatic terrain of DeLacey Point.

To the north, the small community of Wigand Park sits along Prewett Creek, while the broader terrain is marked by prominent heights such as Finigan Mountain and Chisholm Mountain. Water management is represented by the Chestnut Valley Canal, which skirts the base of the hills east of the river. The south end of the map features a curiously named landmark, The Devils Kitchen, situated near the confluence of Cox Creek and the main river channel.
