2014 Map of Red Knob

About this map

Red Knob stands as a prominent geographic landmark in this section of Custer County, Montana, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. The drainage patterns of Horse Cr and its tributaries, including N Fork Horse Cr, dominate the northern half of the quadrangle, while Sheep Cr and Tub S Cr carve through the southern reaches. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of isolated rural routes such as Mizpah Rd and Sheep Creek-Horse Creek Rd, which provide the primary access through this sparsely populated ranching country. The presence of these named creeks and specifically identified roads like N Nolton Rd indicates a territory where water sources and established transit lines have historically dictated land use and settlement across townships t7n r52e and t6n r53e.
