1953 Map of Starve Out Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep, winding path through this North-Central Montana landscape, serving as the primary geographic divider between Chouteau and Fergus Counties. This 1953 survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's development program for the Missouri River Basin, captures the region's dramatic topography of flat-topped mesas and deep coulees. High ground is dominated by extensive plateaus such as Eightmile Bench and Missouri Bench, which drop sharply toward the river valley. The confluence of the river with Arrow Creek marks a significant hydrological junction, while the lower elevations are defined by expansive alluvial areas like Starve Out Flat and Sneath Bottom. Human presence is sparse, represented by isolated landmarks such as Cow Camp Spring and a rugged Jeep Trail, illustrating the remote ranching character of the high plains during the mid-20th century.
