About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses the southwestern portion of this 1993 study, where the Ekalaka Hills rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and springs. The map documents rural land use in southeast Montana during the early 1990s, recording specific family holdings such as the J. LaBree Ranch and the D. Schwede Ranch. Distinctive geological and terrain features like Chimney Rock and Red Hill provide important landmarks for local navigation and history.

Hydrological resources are central to life in this arid region, evidenced by numerous named water sources including Aspen Spring, Sinrud Spring, and Johns Spring. These sites, along with larger channels like Terrell Creek and Beaver Creek, represent the critical infrastructure for both ranching and forest management. The presence of the Iron Road and scattered sites like the Gravel Pit further illustrate the working nature of the terrain at the time of the U.S. Forest Service field check.
