About this map

Foundation Spring serves as a vital water source in this corner of the High Plains, where the landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and draws. Flowing through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Miles City Creek and Hay Creek carve through the terrain, while Locate Creek and its North Fork Locate Creek dominate the northern section. This 1981 edition, based on mid-1970s aerial photography, captures the sparse, utilitarian nature of the rural environment spanning the Custer and Fallon County line. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several strategically placed Tanks for livestock water suggest a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching and local resource extraction. Extensive fence lines, indicated by fine red dashed markings, delineate the division of these wide-open rangelands near Foundation Draw.
