About this map

Kirkpatrick Hill rises as the central landmark in this portion of Custer County, overlooking a network of drainage systems that define the local topography. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex watershed of southeastern Montana, where Pumpkin Cr flows northward, joined by tributaries such as Nine-Hundred and Sixty-Nine Cr and Road Cr. The landscape is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t2n r49e and surrounding sections providing a geometric framework over the natural coulees and draws.

Transportation in this rural area is defined by established routes like Ash Creek Rd and Basin Creek Rd, which follow the contours of the land to connect disparate points across Criswell Coulee and Kirkpatrick Draw. These roads provide the primary access to the various creeks, including Betz Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the terrain. The map serves as a precise record of the hydrologic and topographic features that dictate land use in this part of the state.
