2017 Map of Horse Creek Hill

About this map

Horse Creek Hill rises as the central topographic feature in this section of Custer County, shaping the drainage patterns for numerous seasonal waterways. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of creeks, including Muster Cr and Sand Cr in the northern reaches, and the W Fork Sand Cr to the south. A reliable water source, Clevenger Spring, is located on the eastern slopes of the hill, while Deadman Rd serves as the primary north-south transit corridor along the western edge of the survey area. The map illustrates the classic Public Land Survey System grid of Montana’s ranching country, divided across t12n r46e, t11n r46e, and t10n r46e. These township and range lines provide essential spatial context for researchers tracing historic land patents or grazing territories in this sparsely settled high plains environment.
