About this map

Carey-Malone School stands as a focal point in this portion of Custer County, situated near the headwaters where multiple drainage systems converge. The landscape is defined by the branching networks of North Fork Haddow Creek and Haddow Creek to the north, while the southern reaches are shaped by Foster Creek and its tributary, North Fork Foster Creek.

Evidence of local resource use is visible through several marked Drill Hole locations and a Gravel Pit, suggesting the extractive activity common to this Montana terrain. The distribution of numerous Spring and Well labels across the quadrangle highlights the critical importance of water management in this environment. Additional drainage features like Coalbank Creek, McFee Creek, and Ash Creek illustrate the complex topography of the prairie breaks.
