About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep valley through this portion of Cascade County, defining the northern industrial and residential expansion of Great Falls. This 2014 survey captures the distinct transition from the dense urban grid of the city, including Central Ave and 10th Ave N, to the surrounding agricultural and industrial districts like Black Eagle and Rainbow. The river's path is marked by significant hydrological landmarks such as Giant Springs and the cascading waters of Rainbow Falls, which are bypassed by the Rainbow Falls Bridge.

To the north, the landscape opens into broad flats and coulees, including Black Horse Lake Flat and the drainage of Blackfeet Gulch. Small outlying settlements such as Sheffels and Cooper are visible, connected by a network of rural roads like Black Horse Lake Rd and Morony Dam Rd. The map also traces the River's Edge Trl, highlighting how modern recreational corridors have been integrated into the historical riverfront.
