Caprock Coulee cuts through this high plains landscape in eastern Montana, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage channels. The map illustrates a primarily rural and open environment within Custer County, characterized by the winding paths of Custer Cr and Harris Cr. These watercourses, along with Cabin Cr and Sturgis Cr, represent the vital hydrological skeleton of the region, dictating the local topography of ridges and draws. While modern in its production, this survey preserves the original Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t12n r48e and t11n r47e, which continue to define property boundaries and land use in this ranching country. The absence of major settlements emphasizes the isolated nature of the landscape, where geography is marked by subtle shifts in elevation and the enduring presence of these named coulees and creeks.
