2017 Map of Custer

About this map

The town of Custer sits prominently along the northern bank of the Yellowstone River, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie and river-bottom landscape. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of historical transport and modern infrastructure, where the Bighorn Tunnel and Old Hwy 10 parallel the river's course. The terrain north of the valley is defined by significant drainage systems such as Fivemile Cr and Buffalo Cr, which carve through the land alongside Laylan Coulee and Big Coulee. Local transportation is anchored by historic routes like Musselshell Trail Rd and Pease Bottom Rd. The inclusion of Ruff Airport and several township boundaries, including the line between Treasure and Yellowstone Counties, provides a clear view of the regional administrative and aviation footprint near Fivemile Hill.
