1979 Map of Powderville

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Powderville sits at the intersection of local cattle country and the winding path of the Powder River during the late 1970s. This survey documents the rural infrastructure of southeast Montana, marking the Community Hall and the Hunt Sch as focal points for the outlying ranching community. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river bottom to higher terrain marked by Chimney Butte and Soldiers Mount. Evidence of local history and settlement is visible at Boothill Cem, located just off the Powderville Road. The mapping reveals a complex drainage system feeding the main river, including Stump Creek, Skunk Creek, and Bridge Creek, which carve through the breaks and flats. Several Gravel Pit sites and remote Landing Strips highlight the region's reliance on localized resources and small-scale aviation for transport across the vast Custer and Powder River County line.
