About this map

Miles City serves as the focal point of this Eastern Montana landscape, situated at the confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Tongue River. The town's historic footprint is anchored by the Custer County Courthouse and a dense network of residential streets, while the presence of Miles Community College and several local burial grounds, including Custer County Cem and Calvary Cem, reflect its long-standing role as a regional hub. To the north, the BNSF Railway tracks parallel the river, marking the transportation corridor that helped build the community.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the extensive Tongue and Yellowstone River Irrigation District Canal, which supports the agricultural base of the valley. Notable landmarks such as Pirogue Island in the river and the prominent heights of Signal Butte and Carbon Hill provide a clear view of the natural topography that surrounds the settlement. Smaller water bodies like Spotted Eagle Lake and Branum Lake sit near the river's edge, highlighting the varied hydrologic features of the Custer County area.
