Beebe stands as the central reference point in this corner of Custer County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Pumpkin Creek. The drainage patterns of this high-plains terrain are meticulously captured, showing a complex network of seasonal waterways including Jim Creek, Rough Creek, and LaGrange Creek that feed into the larger creek systems. These waterways are essential to the regional ranching and agricultural life, as evidenced by several managed water features like the Hanson Number 1 Dam and Tonn Number 3 Dam. Human presence is marked by a sparse but critical network of rural routes, primarily Rough Creek Rd, Cabin Creek Rd, and Powderville Rd, which connect the isolated homesteads and ranching operations. The map provides a clear look at how water management and topography have dictated the layout of this Montana territory.
