2020 Map of Moon Creek School

About this map

Moon Creek School stands as a focal point in this portion of Custer County, serving a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The topography is dominated by the deeply carved ridges and valleys of the Big Horn Basin foothills, where features like Horton Hollow shape the movement of local traffic. Access to these remote reaches is maintained via Moon Creek Rd and Graveyard Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. This survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrography in the region, capturing the courses of Moon Cr, Graveyard Cr, and Cottonwood Cr before they join larger systems. The map illustrates the persistent importance of school locations and section lines in organizing the vast ranching country of eastern Montana.
