1973 Map of Fourmile Creek

About this map

The Tongue River defines the northwestern corner of this 1973 Montana survey, where the river's winding course creates a narrow fertile corridor against the surrounding dissected plateaus. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage systems of Fourmile Creek and Ranch Creek, which have carved deep valleys into the terrain. This is a region defined by its water sources, with numerous named springs and wells scattered across the ridges and coulees, supporting the cattle ranching operations that characterize Custer County.
