About this map

Miles City sits at the significant confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Tongue River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands of Custer County. This 2011 survey illustrates the city's established grid, anchored by the Miles City Post Office and the Eastern Montana Fairground. The landscape is defined by its water management and transportation corridors, including the extensive Tongue and Yellowstone River Irrigation District Canal and the Tongue River Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds surrounding the urban center, such as the Custer County Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and the Pine Hills School Cemetery. The map also captures the outlying areas of Tusler and Murn, along with distinctive terrain features like Pirogue Island and the elevated Signal Butte. Industrial and civic infrastructure is represented by a series of sewage disposal ponds and the Miles City Fish Hatchery near Spotted Eagle Lake.
