1960 Map of Ingomar West

About this map

The high plains of eastern Montana's Rosebud County are defined here by the drainage network of the West Fork Froze to Death Creek and Middle Fork Froze to Death Creek. During the early 1960s, the community of Ingomar served as a key point on the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts diagonally across the landscape. The map captures an era of resource exploration and infrastructure maintenance, marked by scattered Drill Holes, an Oil Well, and a Gravel Pit. To the west, the station at Galbraith provides a specific point of reference for researchers tracing the historical footprint of the Milwaukee Road. The fine red dashed lines appearing throughout the survey indicate established fence and field lines, offering a glimpse into the division of ranching lands during the development of the Missouri River Basin.
