2024 Map of Divide School

About this map

Sand Creek and Deer Creek carve through the high plains of Eastern Montana, defining the local drainage patterns near the border of Custer and Powder River counties. This landscape is characterized by its drainage network, with Big Bobcat Creek and Dick Creek flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of Witcher Reservoir provides a critical water source in an area otherwise dominated by seasonal watercourses like Road Creek. Human presence is marked primarily by the upland routes of Divide Rd and Bird Divide Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain to connect remote ranching and grazing lands. The map illustrates the sparse infrastructure and essential water management systems necessary for life in this part of the American West.
