2014 Map of Deadman Creek

About this map

Owens Coulee marks the northwestern corner of this territory in Custer County, where the high prairie landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Yellowstone River watershed. The area is dominated by the winding course of Deadman Cr, which travels south through the center of the survey. A significant human-made landmark is the North Fork of Sunday Creek Bridge, which facilitates movement across the N Sunday Cr near the intersection of the primary north-south artery, Mt-59. This road system, which includes the unpaved Deadman Rd, reflects the late twentieth-century cattle ranching infrastructure of eastern Montana. The map illustrates how local topography influenced historical property boundaries, with the township lines of t10n r46e and t9n r46e overlaying a rugged network of seasonal watercourses like Crooked Cr and Cow Cr.
