2020 Map of Beaver Creek School

About this map

Beaver Creek School stands as a focal point for this rural landscape in Powder River County, where water management is the primary driver of the land's organization. The topography is defined by a dense network of draws and springs, including Sartin Draw and Maxwell Spring, which feed into numerous man-made impoundments like Sawmill Reservoir and Schiller Reservoir. These features reflect a legacy of ranching and resource conservation within the Custer National Forest, where the terrain transitions from the headwaters of Beaver Cr to the more deeply carved southern drainages. The map reveals how local infrastructure, such as Beaver Creek Rd and Wiltse Rd, follows the natural contours to connect these isolated water sources and school sites, providing a clear record of land use in this part of southeastern Montana.
