Eastern Custer County residents, east of Powder River, will meet in Baker on Friday March 17 to decide on forming a new county. The area lies between Dawson County and the Wyoming line, with the Dakotas to the east, and includes about 175 townships with an assessed value around five and a half to six million dollars.
