Photos from: Why the Missouri River used to run north of the Bear Paws




This graphic shows the locations of the southern edges of the glacial sheets and glacial lakes that covered much of north central Montana 100,000+ years ago. The map also shows the present-day route of the Milk (dots) and Missouri (dashes) Rivers. The pre-glacial route of the Missouri River was around the north edge of the Bear Paws and through Blaine County along a channel now occupied by the Milk River.
