2017 Map of Witcher Reservoir

About this map

Witcher Reservoir and the winding course of Mizpah Creek anchor this high-plains landscape where the border of Custer and Powder River counties meets. This 2017 survey details the complex drainage patterns of the eastern Montana rangelands, highlighting several prominent seasonal waterways such as Big Bobcat Creek, Little Bobcat Creek, and Road Creek. The infrastructure of this pastoral region is defined by a sparse network of gravel roads including Mizpah Rd and Cross S Rd, which follow the contours of the terrain rather than a strict grid. The map reveals how the modern ranching economy utilizes natural features like Horse Creek and Cross S Creek for water management in an arid environment, providing a precise look at the land's hydrology and modern surveying boundaries.
