2020 Map of Saddle Horse Butte

About this map

Saddle Horse Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Custer County, overlooking a complex network of seasonal drainages and prairie roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Mizpah Creek and its many tributaries, including Dawson Cr, L O Cr, and Sand Cr. This area of Montana maintains a traditional ranching character, evidenced by the sparsely distributed infrastructure and long-established routes such as Powderville Rd and Mizpah Rd. The survey illustrates the Public Land Survey System divisions, featuring township and range lines for t3n r51e and t2n r50e, which historically governed homesteading and land claims in the region. Local topography is marked by numerous draws and ridges, with water sources like Deer Cr and Spring Cr serving as critical features for the high-plains environment.
