About this map

The Tongue River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, serving as a primary water source for the surrounding high plains and ranchlands. The topography is defined by complex drainages and draws, many of which are protected within the Custer National Forest. This 2024 survey reveals a significant network of water management features, including the Pittman Reservoir, Green Cr Reservoir, and Poker Teechee Reservoir, which are vital for supporting local agriculture and wildlife in Rosebud County.

Surface travel relies on traditional routes like the Tongue River Rd and Ashland-Birney Rd, while interior access is provided by several named forest trails and ranch roads. Notable landmarks such as Black Canyon and the headwaters of Cedar Creek offer insights into the erosion patterns and land use of this Montana region. The map preserves the names of numerous local springs, including Green Creek Spring and King Creek Spring, which have historically determined the location of camps and livestock operations.
