2014 Map of Ikey Creek

About this map

Elgin Cem stands as a solitary landmark of local history within this expansive Montana landscape, situated near the headwaters of Lome Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainage systems, including the namesake Ikey Cr and the deeply etched Ewalt Draw. This 2014 survey reveals a territory primarily organized by its hydrography and a sparse network of ranch roads like Ridgeway Ridge Rd and Lone Tree Rd. The inclusion of specific water sources, such as the 03N58E31CDD 01 Spring, underscores the critical importance of reliable water in this corner of Carter County. While large settlements are absent, the map documents the geographic framework of high-plains ranching, where family-named features like McCarty Cr and Dead Boy Cr partition the land.
