2017 Map of Browns Mountain

About this map

Custer National Forest lands dominate this part of Rosebud County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and draws. The high point of Browns Mtn rises above the drainage of Black Eagle Cr, while further south, the landscape is carved by Roberts Gulch and Wild Hog Coulee. This 2017 survey documents an extensive water management system essential for this environment, featuring named sources like Black Eagle Spring Number One and Black Eagle Spring Number Two, alongside several catchment points including Roberts Gulch Reservoir and Timber Cr Reservoir. The road network is largely dictated by the topography, with Ashland-Birney Rd and Tongue River Rd skirting the western edges near the Tongue River, providing access to remote ranching land like that accessed via Bones Ranch Rd.
