2014 Map of North Slick Creek

About this map

The Custer National Forest anchors this borderland landscape, where the rugged terrain of eastern Montana meets South Dakota. This high-plains environment is defined by an intricate drainage system, including N Slick Creek, Middle Slick Creek, and Slick Creek, all of which carve through the arid topography. The presence of water management features like W Plum Cr Reservoir and Section 21 Reservoir suggests a landscape historically utilized for livestock grazing and land management within the forest boundaries. Remote access is provided by unpaved routes such as Turbiville Rd and Lewton Rd, which navigate the elevation shifts between Wagon Creek to the north and Plum Creek to the south. Springs like Brown Jug Spring and Bill Spring indicate vital water sources in an otherwise dry, rural expanse on the edge of the state line.
