About this map

The Tongue River meanders through this portion of Custer County, shaping the landscape near the small settlement of Garland. This 2011 survey reveals a highly branched drainage network defined by numerous named tributaries, including Miles Creek, Forest Creek, and Haddow Creek, which feed into the main river channel. Human modification of the watershed is evident through structures such as Shipleys Dam and the Powell Number 1 Dam further east.

Local transportation is dominated by the corridors of Tongue River Rd and Foster Creek Rd, which provide access through the valley and its surrounding ridges. The map details a complex system of smaller watercourses like Cheever Creek and Stony Creek, illustrating the intricate topography typical of the Montana plains. Researchers and geographers can trace the relationship between these seasonal creeks and the primary river valley, noting how names like Yank Creek and Geddes Creek mark the northern reaches of this rural landscape.
