Mizpah Northern Pacific Stage Stop Strongbox — Custer County

Lost Treasure MT • Custer County County
Description
Mizpah legend of a vanished Northern Pacific stage and freight stop east of Miles City — where railroad-era treasure lore imagines unrecovered express strongboxes in southeastern Custer County coulees.
Historical Notes
Mizpah is a documented ghost-town station on the old Northern Pacific branch east of Miles City in Custer County, listed in USGS GNIS railroad-stop inventories. Fallon County Times stage histories note lines survived until Great Northern and Burlington rails in the 1890s; branch stops like Mizpah inherited road-agent and express-box folklore from the Miles City–Bozeman era. Coordinates mark Mizpah at 46.215° N, 104.548° W east of Miles City. Private ranch land — legend only.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
