About this map

The drainage network of Custer Creek and its many tributaries defines this remote stretch of the Montana plains along the boundary of Prairie and Custer Counties. This 2024 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by water erosion and intermittent stream beds, including the intricate branching of North Fork Bachelor Creek and South Fork Bachelor Creek. The area is largely defined by its topography rather than dense settlement, with only a few critical access routes like Caprock Rd and Reed Rd cutting through the terrain.

The hydrological character of the region is evident in the convergence of Morehouse Creek, Finley Creek, and Physic Creek. These watercourses create a complex series of draws and ridges that dominate the landscape across Township 12 North and Township 13 North. The map provides a precise modern record of these natural features, which are vital for understanding the local geography of this sparsely populated cattle country.
