2014 Map of Mid Canon

About this map

The confluence of the Dearborn River and the Missouri River anchors this 2014 survey of the canyons along the boundary of Cascade and Lewis and Clark Counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks to prominent summits like Sawmill Peak and Sugarloaf Mtn. The settlement of Mid Canon sits near the southern edge of the map, connected to the surrounding high country by a network of winding roads such as Old US-91 and Eagle Rock Rd. Numerous drainage systems, including Trout Cr, Sullivan Cr, and Sawmill Cr, have carved deep paths through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrological network that feeds into the Missouri. Residential and access routes like Wiegand Park Rd and Sunquist Park Ln suggest a modern layer of land use and development nestled within the traditional ranching and mountain geography of central Montana.
