About this map

Custer National Forest lands dominate this mid-1990s survey of the Powder River region, where the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and high points like Home Creek Butte. The landscape is a network of named springs and reservoirs vital to the high plains environment, including Hanson Spring, Lemonade Spring, and the Wilber Creek Reservoir system. These water sources, often associated with family or local names, illustrate the infrastructure required for ranching and forest management in this part of Montana.

Strategic navigation points such as Camps Pass and Suicide Pass reveal the natural corridors used to traverse the divide between Home Creek and Pumpkin Creek. Evidence of land use is visible in features like the Gravel Pit near Logging Creek Reservoir and the descriptively named Schoolhouse Draw, providing specific coordinates for local historians and researchers tracing the physical evolution of these public and private lands.
