2014 Map of Mills Creek East

About this map

The Powder River carves through the northeastern corner of this Custer County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by the intricate drainage systems of Mills Cr and its tributaries. This 2014 survey captures a section of Big Sky country characterized by the winding paths of Ash Cr, Smith Cr, and Nichols Cr, which branch out across the township boundaries of T2N and T3N. Significant for local hydrology, the Jones Reservoir sits to the west, while several family-named or descriptively named waterways like Dead Horse Cr and May Cr illustrate the practical nomenclature used by those working the land. The map provides a clear view of the public land survey system divisions and the sparse network of rural roads that connect these remote drainage basins and grazing lands.
