About this map

The Tongue River meanders through this landscape, defining the topography of eastern Montana at the junction of Rosebud, Custer, and Powder River counties. The small settlement of Brandenberg serves as a focal point along MT-332, situated near the confluence of several vital watercourses including Diamond Cr and Straight Cr. This area is characterized by its complex network of seasonal creeks and drainage coulees that feed into the river valley, illustrating the hydrological patterns essential to ranching and local land use in the region.

Prominent geographical landmarks such as Trembling Butte and Red Butte provide significant vertical relief against the surrounding plains. Researchers can trace historical land divisions and local infrastructure through the presence of established routes like Snider Creek Rd and Beaver Creek Rd, which connect remote homesteads and grazing lands. The map also documents specific water sources like the Spring and 01n44e34bbcb01, which were often critical for settlement in this semi-arid environment.
