About this map

The Missouri River carves a massive, winding path through this corner of northeast Montana, defining the border between Roosevelt and Richland counties. The river's shifting dynamics are visible in the formation of large landmasses within the channel, including Skinners Island, White Shield Island, and Ivys Island. This landscape is fundamentally shaped by its watercourses, with numerous tributaries such as Colgan Creek, Bilger Creek, and Deep Creek draining the surrounding uplands into the Missouri basin.

Sprole serves as a primary point of reference in the northern section, situated along a transportation corridor that includes Bia Rte 1. The southern half of the map reveals more complex topography, where the land rises into dissected ridges and coulees. Essential infrastructure like the Poplar Bridge and a network of county roads, including Co RD 146, connect these isolated ranching and agricultural lands across the wide river valley.
