2024 Map of Mills Creek East

About this map

The Powder River cuts through the northeast corner of this Custer County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and named coulees. Water management in this semi-arid region is anchored by the Jones Reservoir, located west of the central hills where Moy Creek and Dead Horse Creek converge. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how Powder River Rd and Co Rd 421 navigate the breaks and ridges between the river valley and the headwaters of Mills Creek. This detailed record of the public land survey system, including townships t3n r54e and t2n r53e, provides a precise look at the land partitions and natural landmarks used by local ranchers and land managers today.
