2011 Map of Lander Crossing

About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep path through the High Plains of Cascade County, defining the drainage patterns of this sparsely settled agricultural landscape. The local topography is dominated by a series of steep drainages, including Black Coulee, Middle Coulee, and Huntley Coulee, which all feed toward the river's main channel. The settlement of Lander Crossing sits near the confluence of Highwood Creek and the river, marking a geographic anchor in a region where travel is largely dictated by the breaks in the terrain.
