Badlands Grain Fields, Montana, 1999
"Grainfields spill their color across the badlands of the Missouri Breaks, a lonesome swatch of eastern Montana where the Great Plains roll to an abrupt and wild end. The Missouri River and its tributaries have cut deep paths through underlying sandstone and shale, fracturing the open country. Rough and remote spaces rule the Breaks, perfect for folks who insist on carving their own way."

—From "The Missouri Breaks," May 1999, National Geographic magazine

【中文翻译】

绿油油的粮田把它们的色彩洒过密苏里大峡谷的荒地。大峡谷是蒙大拿州东部一块孤寂的土地，大草原一直延伸到陡峭的和荒野的尽头。密苏里河及其支流的道道深壑穿过地下的砂岩和页岩，使这个空旷的田野断裂。大峡谷到处是崎岖的和偏僻的空地，非常适合那些坚持开拓自己道路的人。
