About this map

Ingomar sits along the rail line in Rosebud County, serving as a primary settlement point in this high plains landscape during the early 1960s. The region is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins, most notably the East Fork Froze to Death Creek and Sun Coulee. The presence of a Claypit and scattered drill holes suggests a landscape utilized for its raw materials, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad provides the vital industrial link to the wider Montana territory.

Water management is evident through features like the Black Sea Reservoir, which supports the arid terrain. The map captures the complex topography of coulees, including Blind Coulee and Geyser Spring Coulee, which carve through the plains toward Spring Creek. This document reflects a specific era of Missouri River Basin development, where infrastructure like the railroad and localized resource extraction shaped the spatial organization of the community.
