2011 Map of Brandenberg

About this map

Brandenberg sits at a geographic pivot point in Rosebud County, where the meandering Tongue River receives the waters of Straight Creek and Diamond Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its riparian corridors and high prairie relief, anchored by the landmark of Red Butte. The settlement pattern follows the natural hydrology, with ranch roads like Beaver Creek Rd and Liscom Creek Rd tracing the drainage basins of Beaver Creek and Liscom Creek. The map details a network of smaller intermittent streams, including Goodale Creek, Big John Creek, and Freda Creek, which carve into the terrain east of the river valley. For the researcher, the map reveals the complex hydrography of the region, from the primary river channel to the small draws like Dugout Creek and Riddle Creek that shape this portion of the Montana range.
