About this map

The Tongue River defines the western landscape of this region in Rosebud County, where the small settlement of Brandenberg sits near the river's winding course. This modern survey illustrates a landscape of complex drainage patterns, with numerous tributaries such as Big John Cr, Goodale Cr, and Diamond Cr carving through the terrain. The map's detail extends to geological landmarks like Trembling Butte and Red Butte, which serve as prominent navigational points in a topography otherwise dominated by coulees and creek beds.

Transportation through this part of Montana follows the natural contours of the land, primarily along Tongue River Rd and Beaver Creek Rd. The intersection of multiple county lines—Rosebud, Custer, and Powder River—emphasizes the area's role as a remote borderland. For researchers, the presence of the uniquely named 01N13E34DBCB01 Spring and features like Swain Coulee provide specific points of reference for local hydrology and land use.
