2017 Map of Moon Creek School

About this map

Moon Creek School stands as a focal point in this remote section of Custer County, situated near the intersection of Moon Creek Rd and Graveyard Creek Rd. This area of eastern Montana is defined by a dendritic drainage system where various branches of Cottonwood Cr, including the W Fork Cottonwood Cr and SW Fork Cottonwood Cr, carve through the high plains. The landscape is marked by distinct topographic features such as Horton Hollow and the drainage of Graveyard Cr. The survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching environment where life is organized around the primary watercourses of Hay Cr, Moon Cr, and Shell Cr, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region in the early 21st century.
