1966 Map of King Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

King Mountain serves as the topographic anchor for this remote section of the Custer National Forest along the border of Rosebud and Powder River counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems and essential water infrastructure, vital for ranching in this arid environment. A cluster of water sources such as Paget Reservoir No 1, Chromo Reservoir, and Newell Creek Reservoir are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail. Many of these features, including Brian Spring No 1 and Drop Tube Reservoir, carry family or descriptive names that provide important clues for local history and genealogy. The meandering paths of Otter Creek and Fifteenmile Creek illustrate the natural erosion patterns through the canyons, while the presence of the Last Chance Reservoir suggests the high stakes of water management in the high plains.
