2017 Map of Deadman Creek

About this map

Deadman Creek winds through the dry, dissected plains of Custer County, serving as the primary hydrological feature of this remote Montana landscape. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Owens Coulee in the northwest and Cow Cr in the northeast, which carve out the high prairie. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along Deadman Rd, which provides the main north-south access through the area. A notable point of interest is the North Fork of Sunday Creek Bridge, which crosses over the drainage of N Sunday Cr near the southern boundary of the quadrangle. This area, divided between t10n r46e and t9n r46e, illustrates the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in defining western land management, even as the seasonal flows of Crooked Cr continue to shape the physical topography.
