2020 Map of Lampkin Gulch

About this map

The Custer National Forest and Long Pines region of Carter County defines this portion of southeast Montana, where the terrain transitions from open creek valleys into the wooded uplands of the Ekalaka Hills. The landscape is dominated by the drainage systems of Boxelder Creek and its many tributaries, including Corral Cr, Harmon Cr, and Little Ramme Cr. High-country water sources are particularly prominent on this survey, which identifies several named springs such as Arpan Spring, Neece Spring, Iron Spring, and the evocatively named Last Chance Spring. Human infrastructure is sparse in this section of the state, primarily consisting of remote ranch access via Mill Iron Rd and Prairiedale Rd, reflecting the long-standing land-use patterns of the Northern Plains.
