2024 Map of Forsyth

About this map

Forsyth sits along the southern bank of the Yellowstone River, serving as a vital focal point for transportation and local governance in Rosebud County. The town's grid is anchored by the Rosebud County Courthouse and extends toward the river, with prominent local infrastructure like the Forsyth Cem and the Tillitt Field landing strip defining its eastern perimeter. To the north and west, the landscape transitions into the dissected drainages of McGraw Coulee and Hammond Valley, where the terrain rises toward Wild Ridge. This contemporary survey details a complex network of rural access roads, such as Little Porcupine Creek Rd and Gerhardt Rd, which connect the upland coulees to the river valley. Notable hydrological features like Cold Spring and several seasonal drainages, including Short Creek and Slaughterhouse Creek, illustrate the natural irrigation and drainage patterns that have historically shaped ranching and settlement in this section of the Yellowstone valley.
