2020 Map of Birney Day School

About this map

The Birney district along the winding Tongue River serves as the focal point of this modern survey in Rosebud County. This region is characterized by a high concentration of water features and drainages, including the Cheyenne Ditch irrigation system and numerous creeks like Mission Cr and Birney Cr that feed into the river valley. The landscape is structured by a mix of public and private interests, with a significant portion of the southeastern corner dedicated to the Custer National Forest. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Birney Day School, situated near the confluence of several vital rural routes like the Ashland-Birney Rd and Tongue River Rd. The mapping of named springs, such as Section Line Spring, alongside complex drainage networks like Poker Teechee Cr and Poker Jim Cr, highlights the critical importance of water management in this high-plains environment.
