About this map

Rosebud Cr and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this Rosebud County landscape. The area is characterized by a series of narrow valleys and prominent coulees, such as Sand Coulee and Hay Coulee, which cut through the high ground. Two small, isolated burial sites, Bean Cem and Brown Cem, provide significant markers for genealogists and local historians researching the early ranching families of this region. The map highlights a network of water sources essential for cattle and sheep operations, including several named springs and perennial streams like Greenleaf Cr, Miller Cr, and Cow Cr. The road network, including Cowcreek Rd and Rte 447, follows the natural contours of the terrain, connecting disparate landmarks across the township and range boundaries of this Montana territory.
