2020 Map of Macon

About this map

The Missouri River serves as the central geographic divider in this portion of Montana, marking the jurisdictional boundary between Roosevelt Co and McCone Co. This landscape is defined by the transition from the relatively flat plains of the north, where the settlement of Macon and L M Clayton Airport are located, to the deeply dissected coulees and creek beds to the south. The road network, including BIA Rte 1 and River Rd, follows these natural contours, connecting local sites such as the Courchene Cem near the riverbanks. Several seasonal waterways, including Brown Coulee, Little Wolf Cr, and Nickwall Cr, drain into the Missouri, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the high plains. The Lewis and Clark Bridge provides a critical crossing point, anchoring the local transportation corridor through this river valley.
