2017 Map of Brandenberg

About this map

The Tongue River meanders through this portion of southeastern Montana, carving a wide valley floor between high mesas and dissected ridges. The small settlement of Brandenberg serves as a central landmark at the junction of the Tongue River Rd and Brandenberg Rd. This 2017 survey captures the rural character of the region, where the landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Alfalfa Cr, Straight Cr, and Diamond Cr. The map illustrates the convergence of Rosebud, Custer, and Powder River counties, a complex tri-county boundary area. To the southeast, the prominent Red Butte and the adjacent Swain Coulee provide distinct topographical markers. This modern topographical record is essential for tracing local roads like Beaver Creek Rd and identifying the specific watercourses that have shaped the ranching and agricultural history of this high-plains terrain.
