2017 Map of Miller Creek

About this map

Tongue River winds through the southeastern corner of this Custer County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of ephemeral and perennial creeks. The terrain is defined by the prominent Twin Buttes and a complex system of draws and ridges that feed into Miller Creek and Sixmile Creek. Rural infrastructure is centered around a few key access routes, including Moon Creek Rd and N 6 Mile Rd, which provide passage through the township and range sections of this cattle-ranching country. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the northern high plains, where named features like Forest Creek, Horse Creek, and Miles Creek carve through the breaks. This area, largely defined by its public land surveys, remains a testament to the sparse, water-dependent settlement patterns of eastern Montana.
