2024 Map of Ekalaka

About this map

Ekalaka serves as the focal point of this Carter County landscape, where the Carter County Courthouse stands as a central landmark of local governance. The surrounding terrain is defined by high points like Wilder Butte and the rising Ekalaka Hills to the southeast, which transition into the protected lands of the Custer National Forest. This modern record reveals how transportation routes like the Miles City Cutoff and Plevna Rd navigate the prairie topography, following the natural drainage of East Fork O'Fallon Creek and Heggen Creek. Local aviation is represented by two separate facilities, the Ekalaka Airport and Castleberry Airport, while the Beaver Lodge Cem provides a point of genealogical interest at the town’s southern edge. The map captures the specialized agricultural and ranching infrastructure of eastern Montana, from the named draws like Flagsted Draw to the grid-patterned township roads that segment the cattle country.
