About this map

Carey-Malone School sits centrally in this corner of Custer County, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral and perennial watercourses. The drainage patterns of the N Fork Foster Cr and Haddow Cr systems create a complex topography of ridges and draws. These natural features dictated the early transportation routes, such as Foster Creek Rd and Basin Creek Rd, which trace the low-lying valleys between elevations.

Rural connectivity is anchored by specific family-named or location-based thoroughfares like Ash Creek Rd and Ranch Creek Rd. The map illustrates the distribution of various creek systems including Butte Cr, Coalbank Cr, and McFee Cr, which likely supported the ranching operations that have long characterized this part of eastern Montana. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries for t3n r47e and t2n r48e clearly demarcated.
