About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses the drainage basins of this Powder River landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent streams and managed water points. The map reveals an area where the cattle economy depends on scattered catchments such as Howes Reservoir, Indian Creek Reservoir, and the Reanus Well. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Reanus Cone and the Yonkee Cutoff, which provide orientation across the drainages of Indian Creek and Bradshaw Creek.

Remote infrastructure is visible in the presence of the Billup Sch, situated in the southern portion of the sheet near Otter Creek. The map also identifies industrial sites including multiple Gravel Pit locations and several Drill Hole sites, reflecting a landscape used for both grazing and resource exploration during the early 1970s. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating between the various reservoirs like Seymour Reservoir and Stewart Reservoir.
