About this map

Saddle Horse Butte rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and creek beds in this Custer County survey. The prominent drainage of Mizpah Creek meanders through the eastern sections, joined by numerous tributaries including Dawson Cr, L O Cr, and Sand Cr. These waterways create a highly dissected terrain where the natural topography dictates the path of local travel.

Transportation through this ranching country is largely confined to established routes like Powderville Rd and the Lower Mizpah Rd, which follow the valley floors. The distribution of these roads and the naming of small features like Spring Cr and Lindsey Cr reflect the importance of water access and overland connectivity in this part of eastern Montana. This map offers a clear view of the public land survey system grid across townships T2N and T3N, showing how section lines overlay the physical geography.
