2014 Map of York Island

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this 2014 survey, where the waters of the Missouri River reservoir meet the intersecting boundaries of Valley, Garfield, and McCone counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic shoreline, punctuated by prominent landforms such as Markles Point in the northwest and Haxby Point to the southwest. At the center of the lake sits York Island, a distinct topographic feature surrounded by the expansive reach of the reservoir. Terrestrial access is limited to the northern margins, where MT-24 and Poverty Ridge Rd navigate the high ground above the water level. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the submerged river valley and the remaining ridges that now serve as peninsulas and islands within this massive hydrological project.
