2017 Map of S H School

About this map

S H School serves as a lone institutional landmark in this corner of Custer County, where the high plains are deeply incised by the Tongue River and its network of seasonal tributaries. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Pump Cr, Kelsey Cr, and Coon Cr, which carve through the townships and ranges of the Montana plains. Transportation in the early 21st century follows the water, with the Tongue River Rd and Custer Cty Rd 611 providing the primary transit corridors through the river valley. The map documents a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of southeastern Montana, where life and labor are organized around the major watercourses and the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Modern infrastructure is limited to local connectors like Moon Creek Rd, maintaining the area's character as a remote ranching and agricultural territory.
