2024 Map of Browns Mountain

About this map

Custer National Forest lands dominate this part of Rosebud County, where the high ridge of Browns Mtn overlooks a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and essential water sources. The map reveals a complex network of springs and reservoirs, such as Roberts Gulch Reservoir and Timber Cr Reservoir, which provided critical infrastructure for cattle ranching and land management in this arid stretch of Montana. These water points, including Black Eagle Spring Number One and Rough Prong Spring, are connected by a system of rugged trails like the Brewster Divide Trl and the Roberts Creek Trl. The drainage of Hanging Woman Creek and its tributary, East Fork Hanging Woman Creek, carve through the terrain, while roads like Bones Ranch Rd and Lee Creek Rd provide access to the McGhee Gulch and Griffin Gulch areas.
