The tributaries on the east side of the river—Rolph or Willow Creek,Pinepound Creek, and Pothole Creek—rising as they do in the foot-hills or on the Milk River Ridge, are unimportant and can not bedepended on to supply even the domestic needs of the residents alongthem. Boundary Creek, rising in the foothills between Lee Creek and River and flowing in on the west side immediately south of theboundary, is similar in all respects to the creeks last mentioned.
