About this map

Mizpah Creek and its many seasonal tributaries define this section of the high plains along the Custer and Powder River County line. The landscape is characterized by intricate drainage patterns, with Road Creek, Big Bobcat Cr, and Little Bobcat Cr carving through the terrain to feed the primary north-south flow of the Mizpah Cr basin. Witcher Reservoir provides a primary point of water catchment in the western portion of the quadrangle.

Human presence is marked by the straight-line paths of Upper Mispah Rd and Cross-S Rd, reflecting the large-scale ranching and land management divisions typical of eastern Montana. The map details a network of named watercourses, including Horse Cr and Johnnie Cr, which historically dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of remote homesteads across these expansive sections of Township 1 North and Township 1 South.
