Junction in a soutliwesterly direction is a branch of the Great North- 

 ern leading from the main line to Fort Benton, Great Palls, Helena 

 and Butte. From Virgile in Chouteau County and on through Cascade 

 County to Craig in Lewis & Clark County, the railroad follows the his- 

 toric old Missouri River. In the bottom lands is an occasional white 

 tail deer. Prairie chicken and duck shooting is fair during the sea- 

 son. Pike, catfish and perch are caught from the waters of the Missouri 

 and tributaries of this section. 



From Great Falls to Neihart is another branch of the Great North- 

 ern. This follows Belt Creek in which, together with its tributaries, 

 O'Brien, Harley, Hoover, Tillinghast, Pilgrim and Logging Creeks, is 

 excellent trout fishing. Grouse are scarce throughout this section. 

 Pheasants abound along all the fishing streams, while prairie chicken 

 hunting is good in all the bottom lands. Black tail deer, mountain 

 lions, lynx, brown and black bear and a few silver tips are found any- 

 where in the Little Belt Mountains. In the sloughs and lakes in the 

 vicinity of Cascade, excellent duck shooting is enjoyed during the en- 

 tire season from September 1st to December 31st.
