About this map

The Tongue River meanders through the southeastern portion of this landscape, its path defining the local drainage system that includes several named tributaries. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a region of southeastern Montana where the topography is shaped by dramatic erosion features, notably Hammond Draw and Houston Draw. These dry washes and coulees serve as the primary conduits for seasonal runoff from the surrounding high ground.

Prominent landforms like Trembling Butte stand as landmarks in an area otherwise dominated by the intricate network of watercourses, such as Joe Leg Creek, Hart Creek, and Roe and Cooper Creek. Human presence is minimal on this part of the Rosebud County map, primarily represented by the Tongue River Rd which follows the river's course, indicating the area's continued reliance on the river valley for primary transit and access through the rugged terrain.
