About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep path through the broken rangeland of central Montana, defining the boundary between Blaine and Fergus Counties. This landscape is characterized by a series of prominent high points and drainage bottoms, including Pendell Ridge, Barnard Ridge, and the distinct Coal Ridge. The river itself features the challenging Lone Pine Rapids and significant riparian flats such as Box Elder Bottom and Greasewood Bottom, which have historically served as critical landmarks for navigation and land management in this cattle-ranching region.

Small settlements and geographic markers like Leroy and Lone Tree Bench sit atop the plateaus north of the breaks, connected by rural routes such as Bull Whacker Rd and Ervine Ridge Rd. Along the southern riverbank, McGarry Bar and the sharp turn at Chimney Bend illustrate the meandering nature of the waterway. The map provides a clear record of the intricate section lines and township boundaries, including t24n r19e, that organize this vast territory.
