About this map

The Missouri River winds through this section of Chouteau County, carving a landscape of dramatic bends and river-bottom features near the small settlement of Loma. This corridor was historically vital for transit, evidenced by the Loma Ferry and the proximity of Lippard along the riverbanks. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Churchill Butte and Black Bluffs to the intricate drainage of Rowe Coulee.

Hydrological features such as Rowe Bayou, Black Bluff Rapids, and Churchill Bend illustrate the river's dynamic nature, while Archers Island sits as a large landmark within the main channel. Rural infrastructure is represented by the Triple L Reservoir Dam and a network of local routes including Rattlesnake Coulee Rd and Loma Bridge Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts in this high plains region.
