2024 Map of Clubfoot Creek

About this map

Tongue River serves as the eastern boundary for this terrain in Rosebud, Montana, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Clubfoot Creek and Birney Creek systems. This 2024 U.S. Geological Survey record reveals a ranching and watershed environment where water sources are vital landmarks. Numerous named springs, such as Elliot Spring, B Heart Spring, and Rondeau Spring, are scattered across the high ground, indicating the reliance on specific points of groundwater in this semi-arid region. The road network is sparse, centered on the Ashland-Birney Rd and Cook Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors. The convergence of Black Eagle Fork and Saint Johns Fork into larger tributaries like Cook Creek illustrates the complex hydrologic network that has historically dictated land use and travel routes in this part of Rosebud County.
