Fort Benton’s instrument coverage is concentrated on one RNAV (GPS) approach to a single runway end. The other three runway ends have no published approach, so the procedure set provides no choice between runway alignments for an instrument arrival. No separate airport diagram is published.
The 4,300 ft asphalt runway provides 2,600 ft more length than the 1,700 ft dirt runway, making the shorter strip a limited second alignment for aircraft requiring more runway. Among nearby fields, Great Falls International has by far the broadest chart set and Havre City-County has intermediate coverage; Stanford/Biggerstaff Field and Conrad are as thinly covered as Fort Benton. The Great Falls Sectional supplies the broader VFR context absent from this compact instrument set.

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Fort Benton has 2 runways. The longest is 05/23 at 4,300 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total 79S has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).
Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.
No — Fort Benton has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.
