About this map

Custer National Forest defines the rugged geography of this Powder River County landscape, where an intricate network of drainages supports a series of livestock and water management reservoirs. The terrain is deeply incised by Beaver Creek and its numerous tributaries, including North Fork Beaver Creek and East Fork Beaver Creek. The distribution of water sources like Sawmill Reservoir and Main Ash Reservoir, alongside named points like Cabin Creek Spring and Maxwell Spring, reflects the essential infrastructure required for ranching in this semi-arid region.

Local navigation relies on a system of forest trails and primitive roads such as Beaver Creek Rd and Wiltse Rd, which traverse the high divides between creek beds. Named draws like North Sartin Draw and Funnel Draw suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal runoff, providing a clear picture of the land's utility for modern range management while preserving the traditional nomenclature of Montana's high plains.
