About this map

Tongue River meanders through this portion of Montana, carving a central valley between the Rosebud County and Big Horn County line. The landscape is defined by its drainages and irrigation infrastructure, including the Four D Ditch and FL Ditch which parallel the river's path. These water management systems speak to the region's agricultural dependency on the river in an otherwise arid gulch-and-hollow terrain.

Upland features like Deadman Gulch and Dutch Hollow indicate the severe topography flanking the river valley, while MT-566 and Tongue River Rd provide the primary transit corridors. The map records a series of seasonal creek beds, such as Anderson Cr and Fourmile Cr, which reveal the natural erosion patterns across the townships of T7S and T8S. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between the river and the rural roads that follow its course.
