2017 Map of Northeast Great Falls

About this map

The Missouri River carves a dramatic path through this section of Great Falls, defining a landscape where industrial heritage and natural landmarks converge. The river's course is punctuated by Rainbow Falls and Crooked Falls, with Steamboat Island and the lush Giant Springs providing iconic geographical anchors. An extensive network of recreational paths, including the River's Edge Trail and N Shore Trail, traces the rugged river bluffs, connecting the community to these water features. To the south, the sprawling grounds of Malmstrom AFB dominate the plateau, while the residential grids of Black Eagle and the outskirts of the city expand toward the rural north. Outlying settlements like Sheffels and Cooper mark the transition into the higher plains, where Black Horse Lake and Blackfeet Gulch characterize the open terrain.
