About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape, characterized by a complex network of seasonal water sources and ranching infrastructure. The map reveals an intricate system of upland water management, including Howes Reservoir, Seymour Reservoir, and Stewart Reservoir, along with numerous named springs such as 08S46E15CDBA01 Spring. These features, coupled with the Indian Cr Reservoir, point to the essential role of water storage in supporting livestock within the arid breaks of Powder River County.

Transportation is defined by ridge-top routes and primitive roads like Reanus Cone Rd and the Highline Rd, while the Indian Taylor Cr Divide Trl follows the high ground between drainages. The physical geography is anchored by Reanus Cone and the broad Thompson Draw, which channel runoff toward Otter Creek. The density of localized spring labels provides an unusually detailed record of specific groundwater points used by generations of land managers in this corner of Montana.
