About this map

Custer National Forest dominates the northeastern corner of this Carter County landscape, where the prominent Belltower Butte stands as a primary topographical landmark. This modern survey illustrates a network of drainage systems and intermittent watercourses, including the westward-flowing Skull Creek and the southern reaches of Hackberry Creek. Several small-scale impoundments like Dewdrop Reservoir and Jay Reservoir are visible, suggesting the importance of water management in this high-plains environment.

Transportation through this portion of the Montana badlands is defined by remote thoroughfares such as Tie Creek Rd, which skirts the central terrain, and Chimney Rock Rd to the south. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries, from t2s r59e to t4s r61e, tracing the modern intersection of public lands and the rugged natural drainage patterns of Catamount Creek and Tie Creek.
