About this map

Wolf Point serves as the primary hub of this 2014 survey, situated where the high plains meet the winding course of the Missouri River. The town's grid is well-defined north of the river, showing a developed street network from Front St up to Johnson St. This area is rich with genealogical sites, including three distinct burial grounds: Greenwood Cem, Kings Cem, and Chicken Hill Cem. Outside the town center, the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river valley and the arid breaks of the Montana badlands.

Erosion has carved deep features into the terrain south of the river, notably Martin Coulee and Bad Land Coulee. These drainages, alongside tributaries like Schwartz Cr and Butte Cr, reveal the complex hydrology of the region. Transportation routes such as Us-2 and Highway 528 cross the plains, connecting isolated ranch land to the commerce along the river, while the border between McCone and Roosevelt Counties tracks the river's path.
