1973 Map of Haugens Hill

About this map

Haugens Hill stands as the primary topographic landmark on this landscape at the border of Daniels and Valley Counties in the 1970s. The region is defined by a sparse ranching and agricultural economy, where social life is anchored by the Pleasant View Community Center and local transit is facilitated by a small Landing Strip. Surface water is managed through several named Springs and the drainage of Shipstead Coulee, which feeds into the larger Cottonwood Creek. Economic activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Drill Hole, reflecting the search for subsurface resources in the Montana plains. The presence of numerous Storage Bins scattered across the township lines indicates a productive grain-growing area during this era.
