2017 Map of Timber Hill

About this map

Custer National Forest encompasses much of this eastern Montana landscape, where the high point of Timber Hill stands as a prominent landmark. The terrain is defined by a series of named drainages and topographic features like Belltower Divide and Long Pines, which have long shaped movement through this corner of Carter County. A significant concentration of natural springs, such as Ballinger Spring, Icebox Spring, and Big Tree Spring, provides vital water sources for the area's ranching economy, supplemented by man-made catchments like Pot Hole Reservoir and Brewer Reservoir. Local history is anchored at the Pioneer Cem located near Cheesman Draw. The map documents a network of forest service and secondary routes, including Chimney Rock Rd and Tie Creek Rd, which navigate the complex system of draws and gulches like Maverick Gulch and Blacktail Draw.
