2017 Map of Rattlesnake Hill

About this map

Rattlesnake Hill rises as a prominent landmark within this high plains landscape along the border of Custer and Powder River Counties. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Corral Cr and its tributary Little Corral Cr. Transportation is limited to a handful of gravel routes such as Powderville Rd and Rd 552, which trace the higher ground above the creek beds. The drainage patterns of Horse Cr and Spring Cr illustrate the subtle, rugged topography typical of this part of southeastern Montana, where life and movement are dictated by the seasonal flow of water and the accessibility of the remote range.
