2011 Map of Mid Canon

About this map

Mid Canon sits at the confluence of the Dearborn River and the Missouri River, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching history and river travel. This 2011 survey illustrates the distribution of historic family legacy sites throughout the river valley, including the Lesofski Homestead, McKinzter Homestead, and Timberman Homestead. The terrain rises sharply from the water towards prominent peaks like Sawmill Peak and Sugarloaf Mountain, creating a corridor for modern infrastructure such as Old US Highway 91. The presence of the Dearborn Vol Fire Company and the Dearborn Rest Area near the river bank highlights the area's continued importance as a transit point between the northern plains and the mountain foothills. Local geography is further detailed by numerous drainages, including Sullivan Creek, Sheep Creek, and Trout Creek, which carve through the high ground of Sullivan Valley.
