About this map

Sheep Creek and its tributary, the South Fork Sheep Creek, define the northern drainage of this corner of Custer County, Montana. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and draws, including Foundation Draw and Mason Creek, reflecting the complex erosion patterns typical of the region's high plains. Evidence of human passage and ranching infrastructure is concentrated in the southern portion of the sheet, where Trail Creek Rd follows the winding course of Trail Creek. This road, alongside Rd 428, provides the primary modern access through the sections of T5N and T6N. The map illustrates a primarily rural environment where topography and seasonal water flow dictate the layout of local transportation, with features like Lone Tree Creek and Straight Creek marking the transitions between elevated plateaus and valley floors.
