About this map

The Powder River meanders through this portion of Custer County, shaping a landscape defined by deep drainage networks and isolated high points. The terrain is characterized by numerous named seasonal watercourses including Pennock Cr, Cedar Cr, and Tiger Tim Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. High ground is marked by Baldy Butte in the northern section, offering a clear vantage point over the surrounding breaks and coulees.

Human infrastructure is sparse and centered around transit through the river breaks, notably along Trail Creek Rd. A significant landmark for navigation and local history is the Mason Creek Bridge, located where the road crosses the drainage of Mason Cr. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical geography of the region, from the southern Cut Coulee to the rugged northern elevations, illustrating the remote ranching and grazing land typical of eastern Montana.
