2018 Map of Abbey Hill

About this map

Abbey Hill and Anderson Butte rise as prominent landmarks above the sectioned prairie of the North Dakota badlands border. This 2018 survey documents a remote landscape defined by its township-and-range grid, where the Hettinger Co Adams Co line divides the southern drainage of Spring Cr from the northern reaches of Indian Cr and Dayton Cr. The presence of the Alden Cem along 75th St SW provides a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing early homesteaders in this sparsely populated region. The map reflects the enduring rural character of the Great Plains, where long thoroughfares like Hettinger Regent Rd connect isolated ranching tracts across the rolling divide between the Chilton Cr and Indian Creek watersheds.
