About this map

The Powder River meanders through this portion of southeastern Montana, carving a wide valley across the border of Custer and Powder River counties. The small settlement of Powderville sits at a crossroads in the southwestern corner, anchored by the local road network including Powderville Rd and Ekalaka Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Boothill Cem offers a direct connection to the pioneer era of the region.

North of the townsite, the landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems like Bridge Cr, Peas Cr, and Nichols Cr that feed into the main river channel. Notable landforms such as Soldiers Mt and Flintheart Draw provide distinct topographic markers in a terrain characterized by complex coulees and ridges. The map meticulously records the intersection of ranching infrastructure and the natural hydrology of the Great Plains.
