2011 Map of Jack Creek NW

About this map

Moon Creek and its complex network of tributaries define the high plains of Custer County in this early 21st-century topography. The landscape is marked by the distinct drainage patterns of East Fork Moon Creek, Thorpe Creek, and Corral Creek, showing the natural erosion of the Montana range. A key man-made feature in the northern portion of the quadrangle is the Colvin Number 2 Dam, reflecting the critical importance of water management and livestock reservoirs in this arid ranching country. The map captures the sparse road network and the isolation typical of the region, where named drainages like Geddes Creek and Plunket Creek serve as primary landmarks for navigation and land division.
