2014 Map of Lakey Ranch

About this map

Lakey Ranch anchors this high plains landscape in Liberty County, where a network of ephemeral streams and coulees defines the local geography. The drainage patterns of Horse Cr, Government Cr, and Corral Cr create a series of natural corridors through the terrain, most notably at Bourne Coulee and Phillipine Coulee. This 2014 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure adapts to these landforms, with roads like Freight Rd and Tiber Rd following the contours of the drainage basins. The map captures the specialized land use of the northern Montana rangeland, where named ranching outposts like Lakey Ranch serve as primary landmarks across a vast system of section lines and gravel routes including Rock Rd and 1950 Rd S.
