UL Bend NWR is part of the Charles M. Russell Complex and is located north of the Missouri River about 50 miles south of Malta, Montana, in Phillips County. Bison, elk, deer, and pronghorn historically used the crossing at this huge bend in the Missouri River. In 1896, Oren and Will Bachues established a ranch in the “Big Bend of the Missouri River.” The place became known as UL Bend after the ranch’s stock brand.
To film in UL Bend NWR, commercial filmmakers and photographers will need to apply for a permit with the refuge’s administrative office using the Commercial Activities Special Use Permit Application.
