2020 Map of Mizpah

About this map

Mizpah sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the Powder River cuts across the northeastern corner of Custer County. This drainage basin is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways, including the winding Mizpah Cr and several numbered or named tributaries like Second Cr and Fivemile Cr. The crossing at Powder River Bridge and the path of Trail Creek Rd highlight the essential transportation corridors in this sparsely settled region. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes more varied as it drops into Hells Gulch and the headwaters of Double Corral Cr and Timothy Cr. The map's township and range divisions, such as t5n r51e, illustrate the grid-based land management of the Montana ranchlands, where cattle movement and water access are dictated by the deep draws of Russell Cr and Fessler Cr.
