2020 Map of Morehouse Creek

About this map

The boundary between Prairie and Custer counties divides this section of eastern Montana, where a complex network of seasonal drainages carves through the high plains. Waterways such as Custer Creek, Morehouse Creek, and Physic Creek define the local topography, creating a series of ridges and draws characteristic of the region's ranching landscape. The map illustrates a sparse, working landscape where human presence is primarily marked by a grid of rural roads, including Caprock Road and Cherry Creek Road. This modern survey details the hydrological patterns of the Bachelor Creek watershed, showing the intricate split between the North Fork and South Fork Bachelor Creek, which would be essential for anyone tracing land use or historical grazing patterns in this part of the state.
