2020 Map of Hammond Draw

About this map

The Tongue River meanders through the southeastern corner of this Rosebud County landscape, serving as a primary hydrological anchor for the surrounding high plains. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and topographical markers, including the prominent Trembling Butte to the east and the namesake Hammond Draw. These natural features dictated the placement of local infrastructure, notably Tongue River Rd and Brandenberg Rd, which track the contours of the river valley. Numerous seasonal watercourses such as Sand Coulee, Joe Leg Cr, and Roe and Cooper Cr carve out a complex network of coulees and draws. This modern survey also documents isolated water sources like the 01N44E30BDCA01 Spring, essential in this semi-arid ranching environment where water access defines land utility.
