About this map

The Teton River cuts a deep, winding path through the northern plains of Chouteau County, carving out significant terrain features such as Timber Coulee and Sheep Coulee. This section of central Montana is defined by its agrarian layout, where the rectangular grid of the Public Land Survey System is etched into the landscape by long-distance routes like Bootlegger Trl and Knees Church Rd.

Community life centers on historically significant sites like the Knees Community Church Cem and the German Baptist Church Cem, which serve as primary anchors for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The map also documents vital river crossings, including the eponymous Shannon Bridge and Woods Crossing, which have historically facilitated movement across the river's complex breaks.
