About this map

Jack Creek Divide forms a significant topographic boundary in this portion of Custer County, dictating the drainage patterns of numerous named waterways. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of coulees and seasonal stream beds including Nelson Cr, E Fork Ash Cr, and Rough Cr, which carve through the high plains. In the southwest, the prominent Red Butte stands near the headwaters of Winter Cr and Butte Cr. The map reveals the intricate Public Land Survey System grid across T4N R48E and T3N R49E, illustrating how the vast Montana range was sectioned for ranching and settlement. These intermittent creek systems, such as Chinnick Cr and Maggie Cr, remain the primary landmarks in an area defined more by its natural hydrology than by modern urban development.
