The Tongue River meanders through Custer County, Montana, carving a wide valley floor flanked by intricate drainage systems and a complex network of coulees. This 1969 field survey captures a rural landscape defined by its watercourses, where names like Wolf Creek and Thorpe Creek signify the essential water rights and natural boundaries of the era's ranching economy. A lone Pumping Sta near the riverbank serves as a subtle indicator of the infrastructure required to manage these semi-arid lands.
