About this map

Morony Dam anchors the landscape where the Missouri River forms the Morony Reservoir north of Great Falls. This 2017 survey shows the hydroelectric infrastructure and recreational networks defining the area, including the River's Edge Trail and N Shore Trail skirting the water’s edge. The terrain is characterized by deep drainages like Portage Coulee and Blackfeet Gulch that cut through the high plains toward the river valley.

The settlement of Salem sits on the southern plateau, connected to the north by Salem Rd and the Salem Road Bridge over Belt Creek. To the north, the boundary of the Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses Sulphur Spring and Hower Coulee, illustrating the transition from agricultural tracts to protected federal lands. Local roads like Portage Coulee Rd and Highwood Rd trace the path of ranching and utility access across the county line.
