Locate Creek and its many seasonal tributaries define this expansive section of Custer County, where the ranching economy is etched into the landscape through water management. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Snow Creek, Hogan Creek, and Meyers Creek, which feed into localized catchments. Human presence is centered on the Bradshaw Ranch near the western edge, while the interior is marked by critical infrastructure like Perkins Dam, Crowbar Dam, and the evocatively named Dead Cow Reservoir.
