Custer County, Montana

Custer Location Map Montana

Miles City is the beating heart of Custer County. It’s located in the middle of eastern Montana’s vast prairie. This is cowboy country. In fact, the annual Bucking Horse Sale draws thousands. It turns the sleepy town into a raucous celebration of all things Western.

You can still see cattle drives here, honest-to-goodness cowboys moving herds across the open range. The Yellowstone River meanders through the county, a lifeline in this semi-arid landscape.

The county’s named after General Custer, but these days, it’s more famous for its ranches and rodeos. Oil and gas have brought some changes, but agriculture still reigns supreme. For those who love wide open spaces and star-filled nights, Custer County feels like freedom.
