2011 Map of Deadman Creek

About this map

Deadman Rd provides the primary overland corridor through this section of Custer County, following the natural drainage of Deadman Creek as it flows north. The landscape is defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure, characterized by numerous small reservoirs and earthworks. Notable structures include Peila Number 1 Dam in the north and the Moore Number 2 and Moore Number 7 dams further south. These features, along with the North Fork of Sunday Creek Bridge, illustrate the specialized engineering required to support ranching and transit across the intermittent watercourses of the Montana plains. The topography is further etched by Crooked Creek, Cow Creek, and North Sunday Creek, creating a network of coulees and seasonal streams that dictate the placement of local roads and crossings.
