2024 Map of Circle L Creek

About this map

The Tongue River meanders through the eastern portion of this Custer County landscape, defining the local drainage and topography. This contemporary data shows a high-relief terrain of ridges and draws shaped by a series of significant tributaries, including Circle L Creek, Wolf Creek, and Thorpe Creek. The presence of the Tongue River Rd following the river valley suggests the primary corridor for movement and land access in this rural area. Farther south, the map details the courses of Kennedy Creek and Plunket Creek, providing a clear view of how the various drainages converge toward the main river channel. For those studying the hydrology and geographic structure of eastern Montana, the map offers precise naming of these smaller waterways such as Nelson Creek and Dry Creek, which might be overlooked on larger-scale surveys.
