About this map

Rough Creek and its neighboring drainages define the landscape of this Rosebud County region during the early twenty-first century. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, specifically t10n r41e and t9n r41e, which organize this corner of the Montana plains. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including Cottonwood Cr and its N Fork Cottonwood Cr, alongside Wolf Cr and Cherry Cr. These creek systems illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated land use and ranching boundaries in this part of the state.

The southeastern reaches of the map are marked by the headwaters of E Fork Horse Cr and W Fork Horse Cr. Local landmarks such as Redeen appear amidst the contour lines, indicating specific points of reference for residents and land managers. This topographic study serves as a clear record of the area's physical geography before any subsequent 21st-century developments or environmental shifts altered the local hydrography.
