About this map

The Tongue River defines this landscape in southern Montana, carving a meandering course through the high plains near the boundary of Rosebud and Big Horn Counties. This modern topographic study shows a terrain shaped by water management and ranching access, where the FL Ditch and Four D Ditch draw from the river to support the valley floor. Steep breaks and canyons like Dutch Hollow and Deadman Gulch rise sharply from the water, illustrating the dramatic erosion typical of the region.

Remote transportation routes including Tongue River Rd and Red Bluff Loop follow the natural contours of the river valley, connecting isolated points along the watershed. The map records a series of seasonal drainages, such as Harris Creek and Anderson Creek, which feed the main stem. This area remains largely defined by its topography and the lifeblood of the river, with few permanent structures or developed settlements visible in these townships.
