About this map

Beebe stands as the central point of this high-plains landscape, where the confluence of several seasonal drainages defines the local geography. The area is dominated by the winding course of Pumpkin Cr, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Fire Cr, Rough Cr, and Deer Cr. This network of creeks suggests a traditional ranching environment where water sources dictated the placement of early routes like Powderville Rd.

The presence of Beaver Slide Ranch Rd in the southern portion of the survey reflects the area's agricultural heritage, named for the iconic mechanical tool once common for stacking hay in Montana's ranching country. Other smaller drainages such as LaGrange Cr, Maggie Cr, and Chinnick Cr further illustrate the finely dissected terrain of Custer County, providing a clear view of the hydrological patterns that shaped local land use and settlement.
