2011 Map of Noble Reservoir

About this map

Noble Reservoir and its associated Noble Dam anchor this Montana landscape, where water management is central to the arid environment. The map details a network of drainages including Sand Creek, Rice Creek, and Tree Creek, which converge as they move toward the larger Sunday Creek corridor. Named landmarks like Steamboat Butte provide topographical context for the surrounding ranchlands and local transportation routes such as Caprock Rd and Mountain Hwy 489. To the north, the Reichert Number 1 Dam and to the south, the Hall Reservoir with its Hall Dam, illustrate the distributed nature of water storage infrastructure in Custer County. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Montana interior at the beginning of the twenty-first century, recording the exact placement of local reservoirs and creek systems essential to the region's geography.
