2024 Map of Shannon Bridge

About this map

The Teton River cuts a deep, winding course through this Chouteau County landscape, defined by a network of drainage ravines including Timber Coulee, Sheep Coulee, and Wolf Coulee. The upland plains are characterized by a grid of rural roads and established religious sites that serve as significant markers for local genealogy. Notable among these are the Knees Community Church Cem and the German Baptist Church Cem, which anchor the surrounding homesteads and agricultural tracts. A historical transportation corridor is evident along the Bootlegger Trl, which bisects the quadrangle from north to south. The map details a largely open prairie environment where life is organized around the river valley and the dispersed community centers along Knees Church Rd and Mcauthur Rd, reflecting the enduring rural character of this Montana region.
