Coal Bank Spring marks a vital water point in this stretch of eastern Montana, where the drainage patterns of Muster Cr and Harris Cr define the landscape. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the varied terrain of Custer County, characterized by features like Caprock Coulee and the winding paths of Sand Cr and its W Fork Sand Cr. The map reveals a land structured by section lines and the singular path of Caprock Rd, serving as a modern record of a sparsely populated ranching region. The distribution of these named coulees and creeks provides essential context for understanding the hydrology and land use in this part of the northern Great Plains.
