2024 Map of Lakey Ranch

About this map

Bourne Coulee and Phillipine Coulee carve through this high-plains landscape in Liberty County, revealing a network of seasonal watercourses and historic transit routes. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Corral Creek, Government Creek, and Horse Creek, which dictate the local topography. This 2024 survey documents a modern landscape still oriented around early transportation corridors, most notably Whitlash Rd and the Old Whitlash Freight Rd. These names hint at the area's history as a freighting passage, where roads like Freight Rd and Tiber Rd connect remote ranchlands. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid across townships like t34n r5e, reflecting the enduring structure of Montana's rural land management.
