2017 Map of Lampkin Gulch

About this map

Custer National Forest anchors the southeast corner of this landscape, where the rising terrain of the Long Pines meets several distinct water sources. Significant for local land use and stock management, these sources include Arpan Spring, Veece Spring, and Last Chance Spring. The drainage network is particularly dense in this area of Carter County, with Boxelder Creek and Harmon Cr carving paths through the central sections. Historically, the area is defined by its rural connectivity, shown by Mill Iron Rd and Prairiedale Rd, which traverse the open country. The eponymous Lampkin Gulch sits at the heart of this township-and-range grid, providing a central reference point for researchers looking at early twenty-first-century Montana land management and topography.
