2020 Map of Jack Creek NW

About this map

Moon Creek Divide Rd traverses the southern reaches of this Custer County landscape, following the high ground between complex drainage systems. The area is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways, including the winding Moon Cr and its tributary, E Fork Moon Cr. These creek beds and their surrounding breaks illustrate the land-use patterns of eastern Montana, where the terrain dictates the paths of travel and the location of ranching boundaries. Further south, the map details the headwaters of Geddes Cr and Kennedy Cr, providing a clear view of the topographical transitions within Township 4 North and Township 5 North. The absence of major settlements highlights the rural character of this region, where place names are almost exclusively tied to the hydrology of the plains, such as Plunket Cr and Thorpe Cr.
