About this map

The Powder River carves a winding path through this corner of eastern Montana, defining a landscape shaped by water and ranching access. Straddling the Prairie Co Custer Co line, the terrain is an intricate network of drainage basins and coulees, where watercourses like Coal Creek, Maggie Creek, and Freddie Creek feed into the primary river valley.

Surface transportation is dictated by the topography, with Mizpah Rd following the western bank of the river and Ten Mile Rd traversing the higher ground to the east. The nomenclature of the draws and creeks, including Swede Creek, Louie Creek, and the namesake Spring Draw, reflects a long history of local land use. This survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrology and rural road systems that have supported the region's agricultural and livestock economy into the 21st century.
