About this map

Sheep Cr and Lumpjaw Cr wind through this corner of Eastern Montana, defining a landscape marked by the convergence of Fallon, Custer, and Carter Counties. The topography is dominated by the drainages of these seasonal waterways, including Ash Cr and Lone Tree Cr, which cut through the high plains. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily on ranch access and water management as evidenced by the namesake Hooky Dam on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Transportation through these prairie lands relies on a few primary arteries such as Foundation Rd and Trail Creek Rd. This 2014 survey documents the enduring ranching character of the region, where land management boundaries like the line between Fallon and Custer counties remain central to the local geography. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of Back Cr and Trail Cr, which are essential for navigating this open terrain.
