Monument Management
Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument was established by presidential proclamation on January 17, 2001, to protect an array of historical, geological, and biological resources.
This national monument spans 149 miles of the wild and scenic Upper Missouri River and includes about 377,000 acres of BLM-administered public land in central Montana. These lands hold a spectacular array of plant life, wildlife, unique geological features, endless recreational opportunities, and significant historical and cultural values. The rugged landscape has retained much of its unspoiled character over the centuries and, as a result, offers outstanding opportunities for solitude and dispersed recreation. In some areas, the BLM lands are intermingled with State of Montana lands and private property. The monument designation applies only to the BLM-managed lands.
