1979 Map of Blacktail Creek SW

About this map

Whitetail Creek and South Spring Creek flow through this remote corner of southeastern Montana, where the boundaries of Custer, Carter, and Powder River counties converge. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Dry Creek and numerous smaller water sources simply labeled Spring. This 1979 survey captures the area’s ranching and resource-extraction character, noted by scattered Well sites and a Drill Hole located near a winding Jeep Trail. Transport through this rugged section of the northern plains is limited to the established Powderville Road, which traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle near the regional Base Line. The map provides a clear record of the section lines and township boundaries that partitioned this territory, serving as a primary source for researchers tracing land use and survey history in the borderlands of the Custer National Forest region.
