2014 Map of First Creek

About this map

Peterson Draw and the surrounding drainage basins of Custer County dominate this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the prominent Pumpkin Cr, which snakes through the western half of the quadrangle. Other tributaries such as Johnson Cr and First Cr illustrate the complex hydrography of this Montana prairie region. Human presence is concentrated along Mt-59, the primary north-south artery that provides passage through this expansive section of the Public Land Survey System. The map meticulously documents the legal boundaries across Townships 4, 5, and 6 North, providing a clear view of the territorial divisions and road network at the start of the second decade of the 21st century.
