2020 Map of Ismay South

About this map

Ismay sits near the northern boundary of this prairie landscape, where the confluence of several vital watercourses dictated the early settlement patterns of eastern Montana. The map detail highlights the importance of drainage systems like O'Fallon Creek and its many tributaries, including the N Fork Cottonwood Cr and S Fork Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the high plains. For genealogists and local historians, the Ismay Cem near the town site provides a specific point of reference for family research in Custer and Fallon counties. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Twin Buttes in the southeast and the winding path of Station Creek, while a network of rural routes like Whitney Cr Rd and Westmore Rd connect the isolated ranching properties that define the local economy.
