About this map

Custer Creek and its many seasonal tributaries carve through the heart of this landscape, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of eastern Montana's high plains. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Morehouse Creek, Physic Creek, and the various branches of Bachelor Creek, including the North Fork Bachelor Creek and South Fork Bachelor Creek. These intermittent waterways provide a detailed look at the local hydrography that historically dictated land use and livestock movement in the region.

The boundary between Custer and Prairie counties bisects the survey, marking a transition between these two rural administrative zones. Transportation is facilitated by a network of modest thoroughfares such as Caprock Road and Cherry Creek Road. A particularly interesting local designation, Cap Rock Cut Across, suggests a specific historical passage or shortcut across the ridgelines that separate these creek basins.
