2017 Map of Mizpah

About this map

Mizpah serves as a lonely point of reference in this landscape of Custer County, situated near the winding course of the Powder River. The geography is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages, including First Cr, Second Cr, and the central Mizpah Cr, which carve through the high plains. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by the local road network such as Trail Creek Rd and Mizpah Rd, and the critical Powder River Bridge providing passage in the northeast. The terrain reveals its character through descriptive labels like Hells Gulch and a series of creeks including Fivemile Cr, Russell Cr, and Fessler Cr. This survey illustrates the ranching-oriented land use and the reliance on natural drainage patterns for navigation and settlement in the eastern Montana plains.
