2024 Map of Noble Reservoir

About this map

Steamboat Butte rises above the drainage networks of Custer County, serving as a prominent landmark in this prairie landscape. The area is defined by its seasonal water management and grazing infrastructure, anchored by the Noble Reservoir and Hall Reservoir in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A series of drainages, including Sand Creek, Tree Creek, and House Creek, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural hydraulic patterns of the Montana rangeland. Local transportation is limited to established routes like Kinsey Rd and Caprock Rd, which provide access to this ranching country. The map captures the remote character of the region, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the contours of the high plains.
