2024 Map of Horton

About this map

Horton and Paragon sit at the center of this Custer County landscape, where the Yellowstone River snakes through the northern territory. The map illustrates a transition from the wide river valley to the intricate drainage systems that define the southern uplands. Tributaries such as Whitetail Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Moon Creek carve through the terrain, creating a complex network of draws and ridges including Reynolds Draw. Transportation is primarily defined by the corridor following the river, featuring Sheffield Rd, while rural access points like Moon Creek Rd and Rd 613 provide a framework for the agricultural and ranching lands. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of eastern Montana's waterways, from the West Fork Moon Creek to Steiger Creek, maintaining a legacy of place names that have anchored this region for generations.
