About this map

The Missouri River serves as the dominant geographical boundary in this part of northeastern Montana, separating Valley Co and McCone Co. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns, notably the Milk River Coulee and the deep incisions of Charley Cr and Kintyre Cr as they flow toward the river valley. The settlement of Kintyre is positioned along the northern plains above the river breaks, where the local road network, including Tihista Rd and Point Rd, transitions into the primary arterial Us-2.

South of the river, the terrain becomes more complex as the land rises towards the Sarge Coulee region and the headwaters of W Fork Lost Cr. This area demonstrates a mix of tribal and public land management as evidenced by the Indian Hwy (BIA-1) and Blackwalnut Rd. The interplay of coulees and river bottomlands defines the historical movement through this prairie landscape, where water access and high-ground travel were primary concerns for early ranching and transport.
