About this map

The town of Ekalaka serves as the focal point of this Eastern Montana landscape, situated at a junction of prairie roads and creek drainages. The local infrastructure of the late 1970s is well-documented, including the Landing Strip, a Radio Tower, and various municipal utilities like the Water Tank and Sewage Disposal. To the southeast, the topography rises into the Ekalaka Hills, where the boundary of the Custer National Forest meets the rugged breaks of Carter Gulch.

Water sources define the geography of this high plains region, with the East Fork O'Fallon Creek and Little Beaver Creek carving paths through the terrain. Notable local landmarks such as Wilder Butte and the Cem south of town provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of Carter County. The map also captures the path of a Pipeline and several local routes including City Road and Cutoff Road.
