About this map

Hayes Point stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this section of Powder River County, overseeing a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. The area is characterized by deep erosion patterns, most notably The Breaks Coulee and Swain Coulee, which channel runoff toward Liscom Creek. This waterway serves as a primary geographic spine for the region, paralleled in part by the gravel track of Liscom Rd.

Remote and primarily used for ranching or forestry, the terrain is partitioned by numerous smaller tributaries such as Scott Creek, Mill Creek, and Coon Creek. In the southern reaches, the map records more sequentially named features like Creek Number One and Creek Number Two as they approach the basin of Beaver Creek. The drainage patterns shown here reflect the classic high-plains geography of Montana, where water flow dictates the location of early roads and land boundaries.
