2020 Map of Fourmile Creek

About this map

Fourmile Cr and its network of seasonal drainages define this portion of Custer County, Montana, as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a remote ranching landscape where infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by the long north-south artery of Foster Creek Rd and the Tongue River Rd tracing the western boundary. This survey provides a clear look at the intricate hydrography of the high plains, showing how the N Fork Foster Cr and S Fork Foster Cr converge to feed the larger drainages. The topography is dominated by the dissected breaks and draws typical of the region, where named features like Ranch Cr and Road Cr indicate the historical importance of access routes and water sources for local land management and cattle operations in the Big Sky Country.
