2017 Map of Divide School

About this map

Divide School stands as a focal point in this remote corner of southeastern Montana, located just south of the border between Custer and Powder River counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Sand Creek and Deer Creek, which carve through the high plains terrain. Local transit relies on the junction of Divide Road and Bird Divide Road, which follow the higher ground between watersheds. The presence of Witcher Reservoir and seasonal watercourses like Big Bobcat Creek and Road Creek highlight the importance of water management in this cattle-ranching region. This survey captures the sparse but organized grid of Township 1 North and South, showing the isolation of rural educational outposts during the early 21st century.
