2024 Map of Fort Howes

About this map

Custer National Forest dominates this section of the Powder River County landscape, where the high plains of Montana meet a complex network of ridges and drainages. The area is defined by a reliance on water management for ranching and land use, evidenced by the numerous named catchments like Dunning Reservoir, Doubtful Reservoir, Simon Reservoir, and Paget Reservoir Number Three. These features, along with dozens of mapped springs such as Rock Spring Number One and Rock Job Spring, highlight the essential infrastructure required in this semi-arid environment.
