2014 Map of Humbolt Hills

About this map

Humbolt Hills dominates the central topography of this high plains region where the borders of Montana and South Dakota meet. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Boxelder Creek in the north and the seasonal watercourses of Seal Draw and Stony Cr to the east. This section of the frontier is delineated by the prominent north-south boundary line between Montana and South Dakota, specifically marking the divide between Carter County and Harding County. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour intervals that reveal the complex relief of the hills, showing an area largely defined by its natural landforms rather than dense settlement. The map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t1n r61e, t1n r62e, and t1s r62e, which historically organized the ranching and homesteading tracts of the western territory.
