About this map

The Tongue River defines the landscape of this Rosebud County region, winding through the valley where the community of Ashland serves as a local hub. The presence of the Saint Labre Mission and its associated Saint Labre Mission Airport and Saint Labre Fire Service highlights the long-standing cultural and institutional center at the river's bend.

Drainage patterns from the high ground are visible through numerous coulees and creeks, including Little Coyote Coulee, Walking Horse Creek, and Logging Creek. The southern reaches of the map show water management via the Bowman Reservoir, while the road network, including Tongue River Rd and Rte 566, follows the natural contours of the valley. This 2011 survey documents the intersection of rural infrastructure and the persistent geography of the Tongue River valley.
