About this map

The Teton River cuts a deep, winding path through the northern plains of Chouteau County, creating a stark contrast between the high prairie and the eroded breaks of the river valley. This agricultural landscape is anchored by rural landmarks such as the Knees Community Church Cem and the German Baptist Church Cem, reflecting the early spiritual and communal centers of this farming district. The terrain is further defined by significant drainage features including Timber Coulee, Sheep Coulee, and Wolf Coulee that feed into the river basin.

Transportation in the region relies on a grid of gravel roads and historic routes like the Bootlegger Trl and Knees Church Rd. Near the center of the sheet, Shannon Bridge provides a vital crossing over the river, while the southern boundary includes the notable landmark of Woods Xing N. This survey provides clear detail on the township and range divisions, showing the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in Montana.
