About this map

Strevell Creek and its tributary North Strevell Creek define the central drainage of this Custer County landscape. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and local roads that traverse the high plains, illustrating the expansive ranching and grazing territory typical of eastern Montana in the early 21st century. To the north, Laney Creek and South Laney Creek wind through the terrain, while the western edge is marked by the course of Ash Creek. The intricate hydrography shown here, including Johnson Creek and First Creek, provides essential detail for understanding the local topography and historical land use in this sparsely populated region near the Mizpah and Locate areas.
