About this map

Red Knob serves as a prominent landmark in this section of Custer County, overlooking a network of seasonal drainages that define the local geography. The landscape is characterized by its hydrological pattern, with Horse Creek and its tributary, North Fork Horse Creek, winding through the northern reaches. To the south, Sheep Creek and Tub S Creek carve through the terrain before meeting the Alice Creek drainage system. These waterways historically dictated the movement of cattle and early travelers in this part of Montana.

Transportation in this area is limited to a few established routes such as Mispah Rd and N Nolton Rd, which navigate the high ground between the various creek basins. The map illustrates a sparse, ranching-oriented environment where life is centered around water sources like Hay Creek and Home Creek. This document provides a record of the rural road network and physical topography prior to any modern industrial or infrastructure changes in the region.
