About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape in Powder River County, where the high ridgelines of the Pumpkin Otter Divide separate various drainage basins. The terrain is marked by essential water management features for the region's ranching and land use, including the Logging Creek Reservoir, Fly Cr Reservoir, and Phillips Reservoir. Strategic transit points through the hills are indicated by Camps Pass and the somberly named Suicide Pass, while the prominent Home Creek Butte serves as a primary local landmark.

Historically significant locations like Schoolhouse Draw suggest the former placement of rural infrastructure in an area defined by isolated springs and seasonal creeks. Dozens of water sources, such as Friary Spring, Houghlan Spring, and Wesco Spring, reflect the vital necessity of groundwater in this part of Montana. The map provides a detailed look at the complex network of draws and intermittent streams, including Wilbur Creek and Little Tobin Cr, that shape the local topography.
