About this map

Powderville anchors this modern topographic perspective of the high plains, situated near the southern bend of the Powder River. This isolated settlement remains a significant landmark in a landscape defined by its intricate drainage networks, where ephemeral streams like Ash Creek, Timber Creek, and Meadow Creek carve through the terrain. The map traces the county line where Custer Co meets Powder River Co, a boundary that bisects the rolling geography of the region. Notable landmarks such as Chimney Butte and Boothill Cem provide specific points of interest for those researching the local history or genealogy of this rural Montana community. The road network, including Powderville Rd and Ekalaka Rd, follows the natural contours and watercourses, illustrating how travel in this region is still dictated by the flow of the Powder River.
