About this map

The Tongue River meanders through this portion of Custer County, shaping a landscape defined by its many tributary drainages. The small settlement of Garland is the focal point of the area, situated near the riverbanks where Tongue River Rd follows the valley floor. Educational history is anchored by the Garland School, located south of the main settlement near the junction of several seasonal watercourses.

The surrounding terrain is etched by numerous creeks that feed the main river system, including Yank Cr, Miles Cr, and Haddow Cr. To the south, Foster Creek Rd provides access into the higher ground dissected by Foster Cr and Cross Cr. This map captures the rural Montana character of the region, where the limited road network stays close to the water, reflecting the importance of the river corridor for local transport and habitation.
