About this map

The Custer National Forest boundary crosses this landscape south of Mullins Coulee, marking a transition between the open rangelands of the Base Line and the rugged drainage systems of the Powder River basin. In the early 1970s, this area remained sparsely settled, focused on small rural institutions such as the North Stacey School and the nearby North Stacey Cem located near Castle Rock.

A network of water sources, including Red Shale Spring and Lissom Mtn Spring, supported the local cattle economy, while the presence of a Pipeline and a Jeep Trail suggests the early industrial and recreational footprint in the hills. The map details the complex branching of Foster Creek, including the South Fork Foster Creek and Starvation Creek, providing an exact record of the terrain before later developments changed the local infrastructure.
