About this map

The Powder River carves through the northeastern corner of this Custer County landscape, providing the primary hydrological anchor for a network of intermittent drainages. Water management is a central theme of this terrain, evidenced by man-made catchments like the Corral Cr Reservoir, Willie Reservoir, and Morgan Cr Reservoir. These features suggest a landscape dedicated to livestock or agricultural sustainability in an area where the Bear Jaw Creek and Kimball Creek systems dictate the local topography.

Logistics across this Custer County expanse are defined by established routes like Powder River Rd and Ash Creek Rd. The presence of smaller watercourses such as Monarch Creek and Forty Creek further illustrates the complex drainage patterns feeding into the larger river basin. This map serves as a clear record of land use and water conservation efforts in eastern Montana during the early twenty-first century.
