About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep, winding path through the northern plains on this modern record of the central Montana landscape. Flowing along the border of Blaine and Fergus counties, the river passes through notable features such as Chimney Bend and McGarry Bar, where the shift in elevation creates river hazards like Lone Pine Rapids and Bird Rapids. These natural barriers historically dictated movement and river navigation in this part of the state.

High above the river bottoms, the settlement of Leroy sits along the northern edge of the map, connected by rural routes such as Ervin Ridge Rd and Lloyd Rd. The geography is defined by broad plateaus and lowlands, specifically the Lone Tree Bench and the fertile alluvial flats of Greasewood Bottom and Box Elder Bottom. This cattle-country landscape, marked by Cattle Drive Ln, reflects the enduring ranching character of the region.
