About this map

The Pine Hills dominate the high ground of this Custer County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and seasonal drainages. This modern survey illustrates a rugged ranching environment where Mispah Rd serves as the primary artery, threading through the drainage basins of Strevell Cr and its northern branch, N Strevell Cr. The map detail captures the intersection of public land survey sections and natural hydrology, showing how water has carved the earth near Ash Cr and Johnson Cr.

Remote and primarily undeveloped, the area south of the Mispah corridor is marked by the headwaters of First Cr and Laney Cr. The geographic layout highlights the vast, open character of eastern Montana, emphasizing the isolation of these drainage systems within Township 6 and 7 North. This map is an essential reference for understanding the modern topography of these high plains breaks and the rural road networks that connect them.
