1993 Map of Mill Iron

About this map

Mill Iron sits at the intersection of a vast ranching and forest landscape, defined by the winding course of Boxelder Creek and the southern reaches of the Custer National Forest. The map documents a sparsely populated corner of Montana where civic life is anchored by the Community Hall and rural education centers like Coal Creek Sch and Pine Hill Sch. The drainage network is critical to the local economy, marked by numerous water sources including Patton Spring, Iron Spring, and Herman Reservoir. Significant land management boundaries are evident, with the National Forest Boundary and the Base Line bisecting the terrain. The presence of the Young Ranch and Arledge Ranch underscores the area's agricultural heritage, while the Guide Meridian East serves as a primary surveying backbone for this high-plains region.
