1969 Map of Red Knob

About this map

Red Knob dominates the eastern topography of this Custer County landscape, presiding over a complex network of seasonal drainages and grazing land. The drainage patterns of the late 1960s define the territory, with the North Fork Horse Creek and main Horse Creek winding through the northern sections while Sheep Creek and its southern tributaries like Alice Creek and Bert Creek carve the southern reaches. This is a region defined by water access and ranching infrastructure, where intermittent flows are supplemented by several Flowing Wells scattered across the township lines.
