2024 Map of Red Knob

About this map

Red Knob rises above an intricate drainage network in this remote portion of Custer County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous small creeks, including Sheep Creek, Tub S Creek, and Horse Creek, which carve a dissected topography into the high plains. Human activity is marked by a sparse grid of rural routes such as Mizpah Rd and RD 420, which navigate the township lines of t7n r52e and t6n r53e. The distribution of named water features like Bert Creek and Home Creek reflects the vital role of seasonal hydrology in this arid region, where ranching and land management rely on these intermittent drainages. This map provides a contemporary record of these landmarks as they appeared in 2024, highlighting the persistence of traditional land-use patterns in the American West.
