1985 Map of Hilger
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The settlement of Hilger sits at the southern base of a terrain defined by a network of drainage systems in Fergus County. Established during a period of ranching and railway expansion, the area is characterized by the branching paths of Dog Creek and Little Dog Creek to the west, while Deer Creek and its tributary Little Deer Creek carve through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Small hubs like Moulton and Roy Junction appear as key points of reference within this landscape of high plains and coulees. The map, based on late 1970s field work, captures the rural infrastructure of central Montana, showing how roads and watercourses like Bull Creek dictated the placement of small communities and homesteads in a region where water and transport were the primary drivers of growth.
