2014 Map of Shirley

About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this Custer County landscape, cutting through the northwest corner near the small siding of Shirley. This modern survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and ranching infrastructure of the region, specifically through the Kinsey Main Canal and the network of intermittent waterways like Cabin Cr and Miles Cr that feed into the river valley. The terrain is defined by a dense system of coulees and drainages including Dead Horse Cr, Hay Cr, and Short Cr, which carve through the high ground between the river and the McFarland Reservoir in the south.
