2020 Map of Hayes Point

About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, defining a region where the high plains of Powder River County meet a complex network of drainages and topographical landmarks. The terrain is characterized by a series of coulees, including Swain Coulee, The Breaks Coulee, and Mullikin Coulee, which channel seasonal water toward larger streams like Liscom Cr and Garden Cr. These deep erosional features dictate the winding paths of local infrastructure, such as Liscom Rd. Prominent elevations like Hayes Point and the western slopes of Liscom Butte W provide significant vantage points over the surrounding country. The map traces the intersection of natural hydrology, seen in Beaver Cr and Mill Cr, with the legacy of land management and forestry within the national forest boundaries.
