About this map

Horse Creek Hill rises as the central topographic landmark in this modern study of Custer County's rugged drainage systems. This landscape is defined by the complex branching of intermittent waterways, where Muster Creek and Horse Creek carve distinct paths through the high plains. The transition from the uplands to the creek beds is documented with modern precision, capturing the subtle geography that sustains cattle ranching in eastern Montana.

Deadman Rd provides the primary north-south corridor through these townships, tracing a path near Alkali Creek and Deadman Creek. For local historians and researchers, the inclusion of Clevenger Spring identifies a critical water source in an otherwise arid terrain. The map meticulously plots the intersections of Thompson Creek and Sand Creek, illustrating how the West Fork Sand Creek feeds into the larger regional network of the Yellowstone River basin.
