About this map

The Smith River carves a deep path through this Montana landscape, where the small settlement of Truly sits at a strategic crossing marked by the Truly Bridge. This area of Cascade County is defined by its distinct high plateaus, such as Truly Bench and Swede Bench, which overlook a network of deep drainage ravines. These coulees, including Cannonball Coulee, Goodman Coulee, and Ming Coulee, dictate the winding path of local roads like Millegan Rd.

In the western reaches, Flat Creek flows toward the prominent Castner Falls, a significant hydrological feature near the head of Castner Coulee. For genealogists and local historians, the Belt Park Cemetery near Boston Coulee provides a tangible link to the families who settled this high plains country. The map details a transition from the riparian environment of the river to the wide, open grazing lands accessed by routes like 10 Mile Rd and Grassland Ln.
