2017 Map of Taffy Ridge

About this map

The Missouri River cuts through the northern reaches of this territory, where the turbulent Dauphin Rapids provide a natural navigational landmark on the border of Blaine and Fergus counties. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent high points, including Whiskey Ridge in the west and the central Taffy Ridge, which separates the drainages of Taffy Cr and Cutbank Cr. A sparse network of rural roads, such as Stafford Ferry Rd and Kjorlien Rd, provides access to the high plateaus and creek bottoms. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of this Montana ranching country, showing the relationship between the elevated ridges and the water sources that have sustained the region's land use patterns for generations.
