About this map

The Powder River meanders through this section of Custer County, shaping a landscape defined by its seasonal drainage network and remote ranching infrastructure. The river's serpentine course is joined by numerous tributaries, including Laney Creek, Horse Creek, and Mizpah Creek, which carve through the Montana rangeland. Human imprint on the land is represented by local transit routes like Powder River Rd and specialized water management features such as the Scott Number 2 Dam on South Laney Creek. The map documents a classic Western riparian environment where life and movement are dictated by the presence of water and the long stretches of road that connect isolated points across the open plains.
