Montana Ford

 is location featured in Red Dead Redemption in the Tall Trees region of the West Elizabeth territory.

It is a river crossing connecting Hennigan's Stead to Tall Trees between Tanner's Span and Mason's Bridge. It is located slightly upstream from where the label is placed on the in-game map.

Background
The Montana Ford's primary use is most likely for transporting herds of livestock between the New Austin and West Elizabeth territories, and is also simply another route for travelers who may not wish to make their journey by train or through Thieves Landing. However, travel is restricted during certain times of the seasons by the river's water level and rate of flow, which can either be too deep or too wild for practical navigation.

Trivia

 * The Montana Ford is one of only a few places that allows travel into West Elizabeth; therefore, crossing of the stream is prevented by deep water until a certain point in the storyline is reached, at which point the stream becomes shallow, allowing traversal.
