This original hand-drawn pen and ink/watercolor story map captures Montana, the fourth-largest state in the U.S. Covering approximately 147,000 square miles, Montana is renowned as Big Sky Country. The map illustrates the diverse landscapes of the western mountains, featuring the Rocky Mountain range and the Continental Divide, alongside the expansive Great Plains to the east, historically home to nomadic Plains tribes.

Montana is rich in flora and fauna, showcasing species such as the Bitterroot flower, mountain lions, and bald eagles, across its coniferous forests and grasslands. The state is also a hydrological wonder, with key rivers like the Missouri and Yellowstone flowing through it, marking the paths taken by Lewis and Clark.

Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park draw millions of visitors annually, offering breathtaking hikes and diverse wildlife experiences. Montana's smaller population does not diminish its allure; instead, the state remains a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts, celebrated for its unique culture, landscapes, and recreational opportunities.
