About this map

Hilland serves as the central point of interest in this section of Haakon County, where the plains are defined by the winding paths of several creeks. The settlement is anchored by the Hilland Cem, while to the north, the Wellsburg Union Cem marks another site of genealogical importance. This landscape is a network of water management and natural drainages, including the Ferguson Dam and the various branches of Bridger Cr.

A system of section-line roads such as Royer Rd and Fairchild Rd provide structure to the rural territory, connecting isolated points across the drainages of Grindstone Cr and W Plum Cr. The map illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of western South Dakota, where small named communities and local cemeteries remain the primary landmarks for family researchers and historians of the Great Plains.
