About this map

Custer National Forest dominates this section of Rosebud County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Tongue River and a complex network of draws and creeks. This 2017 survey details a high-plains environment managed for both conservation and resource use, evidenced by numerous man-made water catchments such as Schaudel Reservoir, Pittman Reservoir, and Green Cr Reservoir. These features, alongside natural sources like King Cr Spring and Gate Creek Spring, emphasize the critical importance of water management in this arid Montana cattle country.

Transportation through the drainage basins relies on established routes like the Ashland-Birney Rd and Tongue River Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The presence of named geographical landmarks such as Black Canyon and Hole-in-the-Wall Cr suggests a terrain with significant vertical relief, providing a clear picture of the ranching and forestry infrastructure within the Ashland District during the early 21st century.
