2024 Map of Capitol Rock

About this map

Custer National Forest anchors this landscape along the state border where Montana meets South Dakota. The area is defined by a series of drainages and natural springs that have historically supported ranching and transit, including Old Mill Spring, Capitol Rock Spring, and Abrogast Spring. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Capitol Rock and the Hoag Coal Mine Draw, suggesting the dual importance of geological landmarks and early resource extraction. Water management is evident through the presence of the Bucholtz Reservoir and the Lindsey Reservoir system. In the south, the Little Missouri River snakes through the corner of the quadrangle, while a network of service roads and trails like Camp Crook Rd and Tie Creek Rd provide the primary connections through this high-plains environment.
