About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this Custer County landscape, defining the transition between the irrigated valley floor and the dissected uplands to the north and south. The settlement of Horton sits along the southern bank, positioned where Reynold Draw meets the river plain. Further north, the map shows the small community of Paragon, situated on higher ground near Steiger Cr.

Transportation patterns are dictated by the river’s course and the surrounding drainage systems, with the Cottonwood Creek Bridge providing a critical crossing point over Cottonwood Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A network of local routes, including Moon Creek Rd and Hartman Rd, connects isolated ranch lands to the primary artery of the Frontage Rd. Numerous named tributaries like Whitetail Cr, Swede Cr, and Moon Cr highlight the importance of water management in this arid stretch of eastern Montana.
